Problem uninistalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader 9.1.3

How do I reinstall Adobe Reader 9.1.3?
When I look at the Adobe site all I see for 9.1.3 is an update.
Origin of the problem
Because of a problem I had downloading any pdf file I decided to uninstall Adobe Read 9.1.3 (with its CPSID-49522 patch)
When I tried to do this in Add/Remove programs I got the message "This patch package could not be opened .."
I then used Windows Installer Cleanup Tool to remove the program. (I noted that it said I would need to reinstall the program.)
This seemed to work. Adobe Reader 9.1.3 was no longer in its list (nor in Add/Remove programs)
However, this only seems to remove the program from these lists - the program AcroRD32.exe is still in 'Program Files' and running it opens Adobe Reader 9.1.3.

PS
I still have the Adobe 8 installer 'AdbeRdr80_en_US.exe' stored on my system.
Should I run that?

When I try to install Adobe Reader 9.2 from the file AdbeTdr920_en_US.exe
(downloaded to the Desktop) I get the message:
"Runtime error", "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it
in an unusual way",
"Adobe Bootstrapper for Single Installation has encountered a problem and
needs to close",
"Installation failed"

I've deleted Adobe Reader 11 and rebooted and reinstalled Adobe Reader 11 and I still get the error message that 'Adobe Reader is blocked because it is out of date'. Using Windows XP with the latest updates (SP3).

Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
Google Chrome is a problem:
if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version. Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
My suggestion; use a different browser!

Problem Opening and Running Adobe Reader XI

I am using Windows 8 and Adobe Reader XI (Version 11.0.03). At first, I was able to use Reader just fine. Then yesterday the program would freeze just after I tried opening it. I would see a spinning wheel on the right of the window that would stop spinning almost as soon as it would start. Shortly thereafter, I would see (Not Responding) at the top of the window. Then, without clicking the "X" in the upper right corner, the program would close by itself. This hapens whether I try to open a pdf from my C drive or a flash drive, and also when I just double-click the desktop Reader icon. I have tried ununstalling and re-installing to no avail. I have also tried fixing the problem through clickining "Change" in the "Programs and Features" part of the Control Panel. After going through that last process, the message indicated nothing was worng. Please help. I use fillable and savable pdfs in my business. Thank you.

Some things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Problems downloading and installing Adobe Reader X

I had problems with Adobe Reader X (couldn't print pdf documents, very slow opening and sometimes didn't open) so uninstalled it from my computer to see if downloading the latest version would get rid of the issues. I am running Windows Vista Home Basic.
I am unable to install Adobe Reader X - it gets to a point where it should be installed and I get an error 1303 message, telling me that I need to log in as administrator (which I am). When I retry the installation, I keep getting the same message. What can I do? I have quite a number of pdf documents that I now can't even open and read.
Many thanks in advance for any help that's there!

You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

All of a sudden, pdf pages are nor coming up- I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader 10.1, but when I click on a pdf file (e.g. a restaurnat menu), I get a blank screen What to do?Adober

covered it above I think-just can't access the pdf item

Your "More system details" list shows two plugins that can handle PDF filesS
# Foxit Reader Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape
# Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.0
You need to check which works and to remove one of them to avoid conflicts.

Having problems getting and installing Adobe reader and others

i have had reader and other programs and never had trouble using them or getting updates until now. i go through the download process and get notice it is being installed then come to a step saying open with. i press adobe and a message comes up 'application not found'. do you have suggestions?

What is your operating system & version?

This is the third time I have entered this question and answered with my PW, etc. I have updated my IPad with IOS 7, and updated Adobe Reader with ver. 11.3.1. I cannot get any files or folders to come up when I click on Adobe, even though my Usage indica

I Have updated IPad to IOS 7.1.1, and also updated Adobe Reader to ver. 11.3.1. When I click on the Adobe icon, I get no files or folders to come up, just a blank screen. I know from my usage indicator on the IPad that I have 36 GB of PDF files resident, which I expected, but how do I access them. I had updated from IOS 5 because Adobe was crashing so often that it made it difficult to work.

If restarting the app or your iPad/iPhone does not work, we are not aware of any other ways to fix this particular problem. Uninstalling & reinstalling Adobe Reader may be the only option left. It will clean up the "inconsistent" application data. But it is not even guaranteed to fix the problem.
If you uninstall Adobe Reader (or any other iOS apps), iOS will erase all of the application data including settings/preferences and PDF documents stored locally on your iPad/iPhone.
We'd highly recommend backing up your PDF documents regularly (not just this time) so that you do not lose them when something goes wrong.
How to backup and restore PDF documents on your iPad/iPhone using iTunes
Backup your PDF documents.
Uninstall Adobe Reader.
Download and reinstall Adobe Reader from the App Store.
Alternatively, you can store your PDF documents in cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive), which will eliminate the need to backup local files.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.

I would suggest you to uninstall Adobe Reader using the cleaner tool and then re-install the latest version.
Adobe Cleaner Tool:- Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs.

That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Uninstall and Reinstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro registration failed

I have uninstalled and reinstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new machine. My new machine runs Mac OS X 10.9.5. Every time I try to click on Help > Registration it returns an error message 'Registration Unsuccessful" "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet". I have no issue with Internet connection. Just wondering why this is happening and is there any way we can register this application.

Hi Ksb2009,
This version of Acrobat was never tested on this version of Mac and is unsupported.
I would suggest you may upgrade to latest version of Acrobat and that will work fine. It has loads of new and enhanced features than Acrobat 8.

Ajlan Huda.

I have a windows 7 system and use Adobe Reader XI, 11.0.05 All my excel spreadsheet files have converted to Adobe files and I cannot access my excel spreadsheets. I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled the version all over, and I also downloaded a security patch, however, I am still having the same problem. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen and what I might be able to do to fix this ? Thank you

I don't understand; did you really convert all your Excel docs to PDF (how?), or did you merely lose/change the file association?
If the latter, that's really easy: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/windows7/change-the-program-that-opens-a-type-of-file
