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:

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.

  • Unable to download and install Adobe Reader

    While trying to download and install Adobe Reader, when I click on OPEN, nothing happens.  When I click on SAVE, I receive the message download failed.  When I retry, a file is downloaded; however, I am unable to open the file.  I am using Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 11.

    I am using WIN XP PRO SP 3.0 32 bit on a desktop....
    I have tried 3 times to re-install Adobe Reader for Windows, but it keeps on telling me that the installation was unsuccessful...I have tried to find out more, I seem to have met all the requirements, and yes I tried that link, too.....
    Any ideas? I know this Q & A was last year,  but maybe you might have found an answer for me, as I uninstalled my current version before I started, now I wish I had left it alone....but I was trying to fix another problem on Firefox, which said I had to re-install anything from Adobe, to see if it would fix my little problem, now I have a bigger problem!!
    The 1st problem was I cannot upload pics on Facebook, now I find I cannot upload a pic for Adobe, (on my profile page)!!!! I can still insert/upload a pic on Word, however....
    I do hope you might be able to help me, as I am a novice when it comes to fixing problems....
    Many thanks....Peace & Love

  • I just downloaded and installed Adobe Reader X.  It does not print.  It is unbelievable to me!

    I just downloaded and installed Adobe Reader X.  It does not send the view to the installed printers.
    It is unbelievable to me that Adobe would broadcast a flawed product like this.

    I am trying to download Adobe Reader, I have Windows 7 on my PC. Every time I get the download, I click on it to install the program, and I get the usual messages but I never get the install message. When I try the download again, I get a message telling me only one copy of the program can go on the computer. When I check the program list, it is not there. I have to restore my computer before I can attempt the download and install again. I have tried this at least 6 times but cannot install Adobe Reader. Please help me out with this. I really like this product and prefer to use it. I had o originally delete the program, due to an update conflict.

  • Trying to download and install Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.1.

    trying to download and install Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.1. and keep running into "Ligfhtroom_4_LS11_w_LS11_w...exe 730/730 MB, Interupted" after the 7-8 minute down load. ANy thoughts as to what I amor am not doing cauing this interruption?

    Stay on the download website, do not navigate to a different website, and do not use the back button on your browser.
    If nothing od the above applied inyour case - it might just be a lot of traffic on the download website. Try at a better time - with less web traffic - for instance in the morning.
    Alternatively: If you see a <Continue> button after you get the "interrupted" message, click on it.

  • I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option.

    # Question
    I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

    I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
    That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    Let us know how that works for you.
