Major Problem Downloading Adobe Acrobat Latest Update

I am unable to download the recent version of Adobe Acrobat.  It looks like it is downloading until the end and then it says there is an error and the update was unsuccessful.  The notice that a new addition of Adobe Update keeps appearing on m,y screen when I turn it on, but every time I try to download it, the download fails.  I've never had a problem with an Adobe download before, so I don't know what is wrong.
When I click for "details" about the update I get something that looks like this:
Feb 8 2011
10.0.1
Q
Latest release
Numerous security fixes as well as improvements to  Protected Mode, QTP  support, Flash, and support for SCCM via newly  released SCUP catalogs.
I think it says error has something to do with this file:
\file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/NPSWF32.dll
I've  read about similar problems, about I.E. 68 bit and changing that and I  have no idea what that is or how to do it.  Usually I use Firefox (and it crashes frequently).   I have no  idea how to fix this problem.   This is the only time I have ever had difficulty installing from Adobe.
The  error is I do not have permisssion to the file.   I've checked my permissions and I have signed in as an administrater to no avail. I should have permission to the files.   The advice I received was to do this:
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust\AcrobatConnect.cfg
and check my permission there.  Problem is, I do not see "Flash Player Trust."  It appears nowhere in the folder or elsewhere.  So this may be part or all of the problem.  Here is what my Folder looks like:
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/NPSWF32.dll
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/FlashUtil10n_Plugin.exe
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.exe
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/flashplayer.xpt
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/FlashInstall.log
file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/Flash10l.ocx
I have looked for a download for the Flash Player trust, but I cannot find one.
Any  advice?  Please write advice in layman's or laywoman's terms, as otherwise I will not  understand it.   I am not a computer wiz -- I just tend to do what the computer tells me to.  I have tried System Restore to no avail.
I have System 7, professional.  I use Firefox,  but I do also have I.E. (not 68 or 64-bit or whatever) installed.  I don't  use them both at once.  I mostly use only Firefox (but it has been crashing all the time recently).
I posted this issue on the Adobe discussion board, but was told I might find the answer here.  Can anyone help me?  I am lost trying to figure this out -- the apparently missing file, the download error that I don't have permission to open the file...
I don't know about the AVG virus or the download hoax -- I've checked for viruses -- I have AVG, Windows Defender, and Anti-Spyware (with virus protection).
Please write advice in layman's terms, as otherwise I will not  understand it. I have System 7, professional.  I use Firefox,  but also have I.E. (not 68 or 64-bit or whetever) installed.  I don't  use them both at once.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

  • Where can I download Adobe Acrobat 9 updates?  (Automatic updater says no update available.  Adobe Acrobat is on version 9.0)

    I can find update files for version 10 but not 9. 
    Google search results that would seem to link to the download I need, get to a web page that says forbidden.

    Solved!
    Since Acrobat 9.2 and up are officially compatible with Windows 7, and therefore Acrobat 9 is likely still in wide scale use, I knew that the actual IT guys at Adobe would never delete the actual patch files off their servers (being an IT guy myself).
    So even if the website got changed and no longer provides the links, and even if the "support" idiots that answer the phone in India can't figure out anything past "its not supported, and the website doesn't provide it", all that is needed is to find a 3rd party website that links to the actual patch files instead of linking to Adobe's download partal.
    So after wading through about 20 pages of Google's search results, I finally found one here: Article: Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1 - The Path of Least Resistance | ITNinja

    The Adobe Application Manager Installer uploaded, then when I tried to activate it, I received the error message Download Error Press retry to try again or contact customer support (503). I pressed retry several times with no success, so I'm contacting customer support as directed.

    I'm not sure which Adobe sub-forum that should come under, but pretty sure it doesn't belong here.

  • Problems downloading Adobe Acrobat Xl Pro trial

    I started this download at 4 pm yesterday and it is now 7 am the next day and it is still downloading. I actually did a re-start yesterday because my first attempt was doing the same thing, not completing its download. I have OS X 10.9 mac, no-one else is on the seerver except myself, and i do not have a slow internet service. This is my first experience with such a slow download, so I don't think it's at my end.
    I am loading it into my applications file I believe.    Any suggestions??

    Saved is the download continuing to proceed?  If so then it may be the speed of the Internet connection.  You can also download the installation files on another computer and copy them to a USB drive.

  • Acrobat can't download adobe french resource update

    Hi all.
    I am reinstalling a windows xp sp3 machine and I need to install Acrobat 8 std on it.  So I did that and activated which all went fine.  But when I go to help > update in the menu, it says it fails to download adobe french resource update for adobe updater because the file could not be verified and it gives me the options of prefs or quit.  It does all of this before it even lists the updates that I am checking for!
    How do I get update working again please?  Thanks!

    Use http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. When you install, log in as the administrator and disable anti-virus.

  • Adobe Reader X: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. (127:0)

    I am getting an error when i am opening an pdf document inside an other application (Attensity Respond).
    "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please. exit and try again (127:0)"
    I am using Adobe Reader Version 10.0.1 installed under Citrix XenApp 6.5 Windows 2008R2.
    Has anyone an idea how to fix this issue?
    Thanks

    I don't know what this means.  All I can suggest that you try updating your old Reader version to the latest (10.1.9 or 11.0.6).

  • There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader etc etc error code 103?? Help Please

    Adobe Acrobat Reader issue as above - downloaded latest version again still issues. I am using an old Acer laptop with Windows XP which I only now use for printing

    The  etc etc refers to the usual standard message as follows - also re Acrobat I was merely repeating the message given.
    'there is a problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader. If it is running exit and try again (103:103)' this was the exact message given. I had version 11.0.08 which I have now deleted and am using an earlier version 10.0.4 which seems to have resolved the problem for the time being

  • Issues with downloading Adobe Acrobat 8.3.1 Security Patch

    Hi,
    I am having issues downloading Adobe Acrobat 8.3.1 update security patch.  I go to the Download Now & click on it, that brings up the File Download, where it states do you want to open or save and I click on the open and that brings up a window, showing the earth at one end, files being copied to a temporary file, but the percent of files being sent stays at 0 and there is no green bars on the status bar.
    What is going on please?  I was able to download the security patch for Adobe Reader 8.3.1, but the Acrobat isn't working.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I am able to download the update file without any problem on my machine.
    There may be some network glitch when you were last downloading the file. Try it once again. (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5239&fileID=4877)
    However, if you still face any issues, download the file from here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/8.x/8.3.1/misc/

    http://www.essexinfo.net/queens-road-residents-association/assets/documents/village-voices is one example but a whole lot of the material which has been uploaded as pdf files over the last four years is now unviewable - if you click on the link you just get a black page.  The main site url is http://www.essexinfo.net and our site is the Queens Road Residents Association.  I have just gone through every link on the site and a number of links when clicked on will not bring up the material.  I tried going into Adobe 10 on my computer and disenabling protected mode as was suggested on your forum and at first when I went back into the essex info site it seemed to have worked when I clicked on a link that had only produced a black page.  However when I went back to test all the other links I found that the problem was still re-occuring.  This is really weird as the site and my connections to it which I sometimes make by directly accessing the site and sometime via a link from our QRRA blog have always worked perfectly with no problems up to now.  I downloaded adobe 10.1 on 8 March 2011.
    I contacted essexinfo separately but they said everything seemed to be OK at their end working from within the system.
    If you can help I would appreciate it.
