Installer for Adobe AIR does not respond when double-clicked?

I tried to install Adobe AIR on my laptop (WinXP Professional, SP3), but the link at http://get.adobe.com/air/ didn't work - website said 'downloading' and to click OK when prompted, but I never got prompted.
So I found an alternate site, downloaded the installer and double clicked to run it. Nothing happened. So I tried a couple more times before checking my Task Manager.
Under 'Processes', there were several instances of the Adobe Air Installer.exe running, but nothing was happening that I could see!
I'm not sure if it's a conflict with any other software or insufficient system requirements, but I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything wrongly, cos I managed to successfully install Adobe AIR on another laptop I have, also running WinXP, and got Tweetdeck to work on it.
Would appreciate any help on this matter from the more enlightened.
Thanks in advance!

Are you sure that you don't have Private Browsing enabled when Firefox is opened? <br />
Tools > Options > Privacy = '''Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session'''
With that setting selected there is no (Private Browsing) showing in the Title bar.

  • Adobe Reader 9.x does not respond when right clicking in Save as Copy pane

    I have tried different versions of Adobe 9.x (patched) on a Windows 7 32bit system I still have the same issue.  When ever I do a save as copy to a network drive (doesn't happen on the local C: drive) and right click to get the drop down menu to create a new folder Reader just hangs and shows not responding.  I have waited up to 20 minutes and I have to force Reader to close.Ii have even tried to close it and look for a solution through Windows 7 with no luck.  I can save to any network drive I just can't right click to open up the drop down menu.
    Has anyone esle expereniced an issue like this.
    Thanks.

    Anyone going to tell me how to do this uninstalling and installing??????????
    I don't want to mess things up even more! Geez--I'm almost 60 years old,
    need to work and this might be costing me a job. I'm not 20 and text and
    e-mail etc every day. I'm just asking for a little help that as I see it ,
    is due to a "glitch" with Adobe's software. They can easily in their
    technological minds put a warning on anything before someone downloads
    anything such as "If you download this and you  have already downloaded
    that,, then it won't work." How tough would that be??? They, like most other
    major corporations, are in it for the money. What has happened to customer
    service???
    I need a step by step with my hand held and so it won't screw up things even
    MORE. Adobe...get your customer service and your software together...This is
    draining. I may lose a job over it. I need to have my computer running well
    at this point in time as there is no extra time to spend dealing with
    software issue that are a result of Adobe's software incompatibility.
    I was on the phone for TWO hours last night telling people exactly what was
    going on. I even read the error message word for word. No one would help me
    unless I coughed up the money that I don't have...and in addition I will
    lose a job that might get me some money. This is why I am so upset. Why is
    dealing with Adobe always so difficult??? Of course, I am upset. I'm
    actually a lovely person. It is just that this stuff rattles my nerves.
    Especially when there is a jobwith a raiseinvolved that I may lose as a
    result.
    Now I had better get dressed and ready for the job I have now before I am
    late for work and lose that job, too.....

  • Adobe Reader Does Not Respond in Windows 8

    I need to do a simple edit of a pdf. I've been editing pdfs using nothing but the free Adobe reader for years. Now I got a new laptop - 64 bit Windows 8 and I installed the current reader. I need the Adobe reader for other programs I work with.  I have noticed that the adobe reader is slow to open and constantly says "not responding." I also cannot get it to respond so that I can fill in a form (i.e., a basic edit), which I could always do.  Please tell me how to fix this!

    I figured it out!  I have Adobe Reader XI on my desktop. I opened it up. I went to Edit/Preferences/Security (Enhanced) and disabled the "Protected Mode at startup." My Adobe pdfs now respond and I can edit them without issue.

  • Lots of programs does not respond, when opened

    Lots of programs does not respond, when they are opened, Apple store, Mail, Photo Booth and VideoConverterPro and some moor.
    To close, I have to click on finder first. What to do ?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    You might try talking to the Apple store manager and see if you don't get more help...you might also contact Apple.com/support and see if they can give you a contact with the Apple Italy offices.
    Sounds like you have two levels of failure, the first shop that did the repair and broke a wire, and the second that has disabled something else and isn't helping.
    Apple officially refurbished equipment is usually good quality.  Surprising this has happened but you need to press on with complaints and try for resolution.

  • It appears that Adobe Air does not support persistent HTTP connections?

    As far as we can tell, Adobe Air does not support persistent HTTP connections via KEEPALIVE
    Thus a new connection has to be established to the server, making certain types of network intensive applications slow.
    Can anyone confirm if this is correct - is there any way to get Adobe Air to support KEEPALIVE and maintain persistent server connections?

    "CCleaner" is a scam and it may well have corrupted the operating the system. Get rid of it according to the developer's instructions, then see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.

    Hi,
    2 things:
    1. Assuming your script is original - it is not asking for a TXT file till it is found in expected location. You can choose between 2 solutions:
         to remove FindChangeList.txt from FindChangeSupport folder ==> script will ask for another file
         to override this file by your query ==> script will not ask but execute your query
    2. You can see greyed TXT files in Script Panel since this panel shows executable files (script's formats)
