Reader not working on startup/manual run

Hey guys, I've been unable to get Reader to work for some time now, and it's driving me crazy. I appreciate any help you guys can give me on this matter. Let me tell you the context and all the "symptoms" I can think of:
Apparently the program stopped working after installing XI on Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) over a previous version
The window of the program itself does not say it's not responding, nor on both the task manager's entries for "AcroRd32.exe" in "Processes" or the single one in "Applications" but I still can't interact with it. It "chimes" when I try
I can no longer preview the pdf files in windows explorer
Uninstalling/Installing or Clean Installations (using the tool Adobe provides) do not fix the problem, nor erasing the folders manually after an uninstallation
I cannot disable 'Enable Protected Mode at Startup' manually, since the program does not start, but adding it via script does not help either
I could not download the program's executable since nothing happened after I clicked it (had to download the zip version)
The program seems to open the EULA though I can't see it, or interact with it (and when I open the program does indeed "chime" when I try to interact with it, almost like I had to accept the EULA before pressing "a button"). Opening the EULA manually from the folder does nothing
Firewall protection and Anti-Virus outright deactivation have no effect on the situation
Microsoft's Fix It application has gone through any errors in the installation/uninstallation process and though I was able to finally remove the previous version, I'm unable to get the program ro properly work after installation
Administrator privileges have also no bearing on the situation - neither running as one, or enabling everything in the general privileges
Adobe Cloud is not installed, so cannot be blocking anything
Putting it on startup gets the exact same result
Waiting without doing anything after opening is a waste of time, it just stays there as before
Might be a few more things I can't remember, but I guess they'll come back to me as more people *hopefully* respond. Thanks again in advance, and excuse my poor english.

Thanks for answering.
Adobe - Adobe Reader : For Windows : Adobe Reader 11.0 - Multilingual (MUI) installer
I was able to install it from this link over here, but I was unable to do anything with the one downloaded from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Clicking on "install_reader11_en_ltr5x32d_awc_aih" did nothing for me.

  • Video not working on the first run of Android app

    I couldn't find any results regarding this problem. Maybe I'm just using wrong keywords as it is difficult to explain.
    Has anyone else encountered that video is not working on the first run of Android app? By first run I mean directly after installing. I'm using NetConnection, NetStream, Video objects and GPU renderMode. By working I mean it's not showing and can't hear the audio. I haven't yet debugged deeper so I don't know if the problem is actually related to the code loading the video.
    I've encountered the following issues, which may or may not be related, regarding the the first run and Video object:
    - The first run takes about 20 seconds to start. After that, the start is pretty much instant. If you clear app's cache, it again takes the 20 seconds to launch. The video works after clearing app's cache.
    - When creating the first Video object, the app flashes screen to black for a few frames. This is why I create a dummy Video object in the beginning.
    I use AIR 13, going to upgrade to 14, but I'm quite sure this problem and the issues have been for a while.

    I should add that we're using flv, not mp4. And they're progressively downloaded, not local.

    I recently bought some new albums and can't play them on my ipod

    I just encountered the same problem on my 2 month old MBPro.  I found a work around by changing USB ports.  As for the actual cause or the reason why that worked, I dont know.  The USB port I was using works fine with my phone or other USB devices.

  • Have adobe reader 8.3.1 windows xp sp3 reader not working right and it wont let me remove or update

    I have adobe reader 8.3.1 on system windows XP SP-3. Reader not working correctly but it wont let me remove or change. I down loded Reader XI (11.0.2) but it will not open because of reader 8.3.1. How do I deactivate 8.3.1 and remove it? Reader 8.3.1 installed 9/14/2011. update ID (AC765BA86-7AD7-0000-2550-7ABC-40000831)

    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.

  • Why does my card reader not work on my iPad since upgrade?

    I use my iPad mini to download photos from my camera when I'm on the road. In the summer I bought the "3 in 1 Card Reader Adapter Cable Camera Connection Kit, 3 Port Card Reader for iPad 4 and iPad Mini by Eurekka" and it worked wonderfully. I was able to download photos (jpg and RAW) directly to the iPad and off the camera, and once home it was a flawless upload to my iMac.
    However, once I upgraded to iOS 7 last week I get a message saying the device is not supported. What gives? Will this be fixed or will Apple products only accept Apple accessories from now on?

    No but I was just trying to find a way in to your help desk. I didn't find 
    your web page very helpful in this regard.

  • In my macbook pro hdmi, usb & SD card reader not working

    In my macbook pro hdmi, usb & sc card reader not working.

    Could you please resolve this problem,

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Simply take it to an Apple Store or reseller if it's in warranty. Your Mac will be repaired or replaced for free because it looks a hardware problem rather than a software issue.
    If it's not in warranty, hold Command and R keys while your MacBook is starting up, and reinstall OS X. If it doesn't work, you can't do much more to solve the problem

  • Pavilion dv6 sd card reader not working

    I have searched the boards and have not found an answer to my built in SD card reader not working any more.  It worked fine until a couple weeks ago. When I go to "my computer",  the sd card does not show up as an available drive. I have tried several cards with no luck. The cards work fine when I use a USB card reader, just not the built in one.
    I checked the driver in device manager - at least the one I believe is the correct one - Realtec PCIE Card Reader.
    Any other ideas? It is a pain having to carry around an extra card reader. Thanks for the help

    Good morning rv9a.  
    Prior to the uninstall did the computer make a noise to indicate it recognized the card when you put it in?
    You should go ahead and reinstall the specific driver for the card reader just to make sure that doesn't have an effect on the issue.  Here is the link for Windows 7 and here is the link for Windows 8.
    Another possibility is the the Plug and Play service is deactivated.  Try the following to check.
    Press the Windows+R keyboard shortcut.  
    Type "services.msc" into the box and click okay.
    Scroll down until you find "Plug and Play" in the list.
    Ensure that it is started.  If it is not right-click on the service and select Start or Enable.
    I'll keep an eye out for your response; have a great day!

  • Sound issues; slow response; usb ports unreliable and sd reader not working

    The PC is a HP TouchSmart envy about 18 months old. Soon after purchasing I upgraded to Win 8.1.
    About three or four months -ago probably after a Win update was installed- I began to have Sound issues (including not able to conect my external powered speakers any more- they used to work brilliantly and initially no sound at all but I went into settings and changed something and every now and again I have to do that again to get the PC speakers to work) ; slow response; usb ports unreliable, sd reader not working- as well as issues with the internet - the modem actually. It is easier to get on to a tablet and use the internet as my PC can be really slow. As well I have uninstalled Chrome and am using Explorer as this seems a little better but I miss Chrome.
    I was advised by tech at Hervey Norman that I had to do a complete system restore but in order to do that I would need the recovery discs from HP? Is that correct? How do I do this?
    PS I did not make recovery discs when I first purchased the machine. (Very sad!!!)
    Help!!!
    Alfriston

    Hi again Alfriston,
    Thank you for the clarification!
    To return your computer's audio back to functional order, I recommend removing the audio driver from the operating system previous to upgrading to Windows 8.1, and installing the driver provided in this link. 
    If re-installing the driver does not resolve the issue, I suggest following the steps in this document on No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 8).
    In regards to the USB ports, I recommend following this resource on Troubleshooting USB Connections (Windows 8), which should help consistently connect your USB devices to your computer.
    To prevent your computer from lagging or responding in a slow manner, please follow the step in this document on Resolving Slow System Performance (Windows 8) to help improve the speed and efficiency of the operating system.
    To further diagnose the issue with your desktop's SD card reader, I recommend following this resource on Using and Troubleshooting Memory Card Readers (Windows 8).
    If your desktop still experiences issues with the audio, USB connections, speed and performance, as well as the SD card reader, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
    Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
    If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
