PDFs will not open in Windows 7 (downloads receive error message)

I have spent so much time on this and it is so frustrating!  There are many other forums on the web with other frustrated customers/clients using different versions of Windows / AV and the same problem.  I am using Windows 7, downloaded Adobe Reader X.  The program installed fine.  When I download pdfs from email, and then open them in Adobe X, everything is "a-okay."  However, when I save a document from the internet and then download it from windows 7 (same procedure), I get the error message that the file is corrupted or damaged.  EVERY SINGLE FILE FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATE OR LEGAL WEBSITES that, also, previously opened fine in prior version of Adobe Reader.  I have uninstalled, reinstalled, "repaired," uninstalled again with Norton & Window AV off and installed again ... still no luck.  I depend on this Reader EVERYDAY!!  I have seen numerous threads with this, BUT no solutions!!  Please help!

I just had to let you know that with your help, I have CS2 up and running.
The path to the "Run as Administrator" was a little different. There was no
CS2 icon, but I found what I needed by right-clicking the setup.exe icon.
Thank you SO much. This was a puzzle to many people who gave up thinking
that because the CS2 and Win7 are not officially compatible, that it
couldn't work.
I toast you! Clink!

  • ITunes 10.6.0.40 will not open on Windows 7, no error messages come up. Have tried un-installing it and re-installing it many times.

    iTunes 10.6.0.40 will not open on Windows 7, no error messages come up. Have tried un-installing it and re-installing it many times. Please help.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

  • I run mac os 10.4.11 and firefox 7 will not open, and I get an error message saying firefox is not supported on this version of mac os. is there a different version I can download? Am I missing something?

    firefox used to work no problem, I updated firefox a few month ago, now firefox will not open and I get the error message as above

    As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs both OSX 10.5+ and a Intel Mac.
    The last version to work on a Intel Mac using OSX 10.4.* is Firefox 3.6.*

  • Photoshop Elements 11 will not open. It gives an error message about a missing part of the program.

    I purchased a new HP Envy running Windows 8, with Photoshop Elements 11 preinstalled.  When I clicked on the icon the program would not open. It gave an error message stating part of the program was missing. The error message was in code and stated some parts of the program needed to run togeth, or side by side. Am I able to download a repair patch from Adobe customer support?

    Could you please attach a snapshot showing the error dialog?

  • I just downloaded Itunes 11.1.4 (64-bit) and am running Windows 7, Itunes will not open and I get an error message about Microsoft runtime and I get an error R6034 and 1114 which says Itunes was installed incorrectly. Can anyone help?

    I just downloaded Itunes 11.1.4 (64-bit) update and am running Windows 7.  Itunes will not run after installing this update and I receive an error message R6034 on Loading Microsoft C Runtime Library incorrectly.  Also Error message 1114 the Itunes Installer was installed incorrectly.  Is there an new update for this problem? Is anyone else having this problem?  Please help.  Thanks.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled and Firefox for windows 7 will not open. There is no error message--it just doesn't open, even in safe mode. What do I do?

    My computer is set to auto update for Windows 7 Home Premium and for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. I am also running Norton 360. There was a major update for Office on 12/10/14 that seems to be when my problems started. This month, every time my updates have caused a reboot, Mozilla has failed to open. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times, and it has only lasted a day or two before it crashes again. This last time it will still not open. All the instructions to troubleshoot seem to be based on the idea that the program is open and just has issues. I can't even get it to open up in Safe Mode.
    I have tried to reinstall, and it says that it will launch automatically when the install is complete, but it is not working. Since Norton scans every download before it runs, I'm not certain if that is where the problem is since I never get the window that shows the step by step installer for Firefox.
    What do I need to do?

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. A clean reinstall is not the same as a regular reinstall performed using the built in installer. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->
    Please report back to say if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Firefox will not open at all, keep getting error message with last 2 saved web pages on it

    Yesterday, I closed Firefox. I had multiple tabs opened, so it asked me if I wanted to save them. I clicked YES and closed Firefox.
    I had Google Docs open at the time.
    Now, when I open up Firefox, everytime, it tries to load the 2 saved pages, then gives me an error message saying that Windows will try to find the solution to why it can't open.
    I cannot use Firefox at all now.
    How can I fix this?
    I have re-installed Firefox completely and it does not work, it remembers my settings.

    This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore

  • Fijrefox automatically loaded an update 11/2/10...Now will not open...XUL RUNNER error message?

    Firefox updated 11/2/10. I tried to open Mozilla and continually get an error message...XUL RUNNER???

    There are parts of the application that are missing.  You will need to reinstall iPhoto. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply the necessary updaters.

  • My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

    Hello, 
    I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.
