Reader won't even open

I ran into a problem a couple of weeks ago - PDF docs stopped opening.  I uninstalled Adobe Reader
and reinstalled 5 times without success and used a registry cleaner.  I can't even open the desktop icon
or any other Adobe icon.  I understand I have to uncheck "Open in safe mode only", but I can't even
get to an Adobe window to see that.   Any help out there?

Since you mention "registry cleaner" I assume that you are on Windows.
First thing to try: navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader (Reader XI), or its equivalent for 64-bit Windows, double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.
Any better?

  • Firefox won't even open now that I've installed Snagit - what can I do to fix this?

    Today I bought and downloaded Snagit (TechSmith) for Macintosh. When the program was being installed it asked me if I wanted a nifty Firefox extension installed. I stupidly (as it turns out) agreed! Now, Firefox won't even open. I've tried restarting the computer and still no luck. How can I diagnose the problem with Firefox? (I know that I could just download Firefox again but I don't want to lose my many bookmarks etc.)
    I opened the file in the Firefox Application folder that gives crash information and it mentioned Error Code 1?

  • Netflix just 'hangs' and won't even open the home page, although if i log in as a guest then I can access it.

    Netflix won't even open the home page to let me register and just hangs for ages. I have the same trouble on both safari and firefox but have updated both anyway. I'm guessing this is an 'identity' issue because if I log in as a guest on my own laptop I can open the netflix site, although there are all sorts of parental controls on there that I can't seem to override!
    I have un-installed silverlight, tried again but no luck.
    I re-installed silverlight. Still no luck
    It's not a disaster as I'm still able to watch on my ipad, however it's annoying me and I like a mystery to solve!
    any ideas?

    A password reset would certainly be a good idea. However, it could be an iCloud issue. If you Mac matches your user password to your Apple password, it could be that when you initially start up, you don't have an internet connection...
    Logging in as guest gets you connected, thus being able to authenticate. So when you change it, either make sure it's stored locally, or run some diagnostics on wifi connection upon startup. Out of interest, are you connected at the login screen (top right next to the time will tell you)?

  • I have a new mail update and it won't even open, and now I can't use the old mail app either.

    I have a new mail upgrade and it won't even open. How do I fix this?

    You mean the Apple Mail app? Updated through software Update in the Apple Menu?.
    Or maybe you downloaded Mail from another source?
    Do you still have Snow Leopard or didn't you update your profile?

  • I've just updated my Itunes to the newest update (iso7 I think) and now my itunes won't even open. It just jumps 2-3 times on my dock then doesn't open. I have no idea what to do , please help!

    Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

  • Keeps saying damaged library. i have uninstalled and installed, deleted files and sent files to recycle. nothing works and now itunes won't even open.

    i have repeatedly received the message that the itunes library is not valid and is damaged. i have uninstalled itunes between 6-8 times, sent files to recycled and still get the message. now, it won't even open....

    Have you tried the procedure here?
    How to recreate your iTunes Library
    If not, that might do the job for you.

  • I just downloaded LR and PS via CC onto my new computer. LR runs fine but PS won't even open a file

    PS seemed to download fine via CC but won't run property, won't even open a file! I downloaded LR also and it works fine, the problem is just with PS

    I fear you will not get much more help here. This forum is called Enterprise Deployment (Acrobat and Reader) and you don't seem to have any problems with Acrobat or Reader.
    (Reader, by the way, just reads PDF files, and has nothing to do with installing anything else).
    Each forum has a different set of experts, so I recommend the Photoshop forum here http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
    Tip: please include full syptoms, especially error messages.  "Won't even open a file" doesn't give much even for the experts to go on.
    Good luck!

  • PS downloaded via CC seemed to download fine but won't work. Won't even open a file/document.

    I recently got a new computer and I have CC so I downloaded the CC app and downloaded LR and PS. LR runs/works fine. PS seemed to download ok but won't even open a new file:picture. I am very frustrated as I have spoken with CC tech support and they were of no help, in fact that didn't even have a clue how to navigate Windows 8! I have been working on this for a week and now very behind on my editing. Not sure who to call or what to do. Please help!! Thank you!!!

    What does the crash report say about the name of the faulting module?
    Yes, crashes like that are usually due to the video card driver. (though I was guessing from the original description that the image was just not drawing)
    Have you tried disabling GPU drawing in Photoshop before opening a document?
    Have you updated your video card driver from the GPU maker's website?

  • InDesign cs5 crashes when starting. Won't even open, ever since osx 10.8 then 10.9 upgrade

    Ever since upgrading, InDesign won't even open. Crashes upon startup. "Sends to apple automatically" but what ever really comes of that? Anyway, I don't have the original install discs anymore (lost in the move between offices) so I can't reinstall. But my work depends on this!
    I tried deleting the preference file. Same thing happens.

  • HELP! I have downloaded iphoto '11 but it won't even open!!

    I have just recently had to clear my laptop completely and I originally had iphoto 2008 but thats gone so I have downloaded iphoto 2011 but it won't even open! It keeps saying to reset my laptop but thats not working and I have done it 3 times...
    Please someone help I have no idea about what to do... I don't want to waste my money!

    Oh? That's "reset youtr laptop"?
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 

  • TS1702 got sims free plays update and now my game won't even open. Can anyone help me with this ? tks

    Got latest update in Sim's Free Play and now my game won't even open! Please Help !! tks

    You might have better luck go to the developer's website since it appears to be a problem with the app not with the iPod.  Also, the developer would know about updates.

  • LV2010 won't even OPEN in LV2011!

    I tried to include the included VI, generated in a LV2010 service pack 1 environnement, in a LV2011 project, and it won't even OPEN! I just get a 'bip' sound and that's it!
    Has someone the knowledge to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks & best regards,

    Andre,
    have you tried to open the VI without a project?
    At least the attachement of yours works fine with my LV 2011, but is broken since it is obviously part of a class.....
    hope this helps,
    Norbert
    PS: Maybe you want to create a 2010 backup of the files and then perform a mass compile on all sources of the class using LV 2011
