    Hey janicem42177174,
    Adobe no longer supports the installation and use of Acrobat 6 as it is a very old version which is not compatible with Windows 7.
    I would suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat i.e. 11.0.10 which is fully compatible with your OS with its enhanced features and functions.
    You might download a free 30-day trial version of Acrobat from here:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
    Let me know how it goes

  • 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. 

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8. It worked until 2 days ago, now it won't do anything. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it with no luck.

    32 or 64 bit system? Have you updated Acrobat? Was anything else installed between when it worked and did not? When you say AA 9 will not open, does that mean when you have selected it in the programs list (OK, that is the metro interface if you have not installed the desktop options -- 3rd party)?

  • Photoshop CS5 64 bit will not open in windows 8

    PS CS5 will not open in windows 8 (neither will lightroom install)

    I am also having the same issue. I have Adobe Photoshop CS5.1.  The program worked fine in Windows 7 64bit. I recently upgraded laptops to a Samsung with Windows 8 - 64bit.  After full install program will not run/open.  Here is what I have tried to no avail:
    Right Click Photoshop.exe file > Properties > Compatibility Tab >
    Run Compatibility Troubleshooter > Troubleshoot Program >
    Checked box that reads: The program worked on earlier versions of Windows but will not install or run >
    NEXT > Selected Windows 7 for last version program ran on > NEXT >
    Test the Program button > NEXT > No this did not help, report the issue to Microsoft >
    Check for more solutions >  Issues Found with Yellow Exclamation Point - "Incompatible Program Detected" >
    CLOSE
    No other options have worked either. Ive tried compatibility for Windows XP SP2 and SP3 and neither of those worked either.
    I really do not want to pay to upgrade already - how can this be fixed??

    I fixed the issue. It was related to the DEP settings on my windows machine.

  • Firefox 30 will not open new windows maximized

    I use Firefox on 2 machines, one at home and one at work. I updated both to Firefox 30.
    My home machine, with Windows 7 opens new windows maximized.
    My work machine, however, will not open new windows maximized. It will only open them at the last remembered window size. I have tried deleting localstore.rdf and this does not solve the issue.
    The window will open maximized on Firefox 28 on the same machine.

    '''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''''' {web link}
    While you are in safe mode;
    Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
    Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
    Then '''Advanced > General.'''
    Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
    Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

  • 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)

  • Reader X will not open (non-admin account)

    I installed Adobe Reader X on an admin account for the computer. On the non-administrator accounts, Adobe Reader X will not open. There are no error messages or anything - it just will not open in non-admin accounts. Is there a setting I've overlooked to allow other users to access it?

    How do you open the Reader on the non-admin account - directly (from the Start menu or desktop shortcut), or by double-clicking a PDF file?
    After you do that, can you check with the Task Manager's Processes tab if AcroRd32.exe is running?

  • The firefox will not open new windows

    My firefox will not open new windows. It opens new tabs. The problem is in the windows.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    You can also try to reset Firefox:

  • I have used the resume tablet and put my resume into format but when emailing it, it will not open on windows. How can I change the format to where they will be able to open and view it?

    I have used the resume tablet and put my resume into format but when emailing it, it will not open on windows. How can I change the format to where they will be able to open and view it?

    I guess you mean one of the resume templates.
    What "format" have you saved your finished resume in?
    The only formats a Windows user will be able to open are .doc (Word), .pdf and rtf. The 1st 2 are usually the best.
    There is no Windows version of Pages.
