Reader wont open / run

Hi,
Yesterday Reader X worked perfectly, but today when I open a PDF the file opens, then freezes aprox 5 seconds after opening. I cannot open Reader via the icons or the exe. If I right click the exe, explorer freezes.
I have uninstalled, and reinstalled, and even tried Reader 9, but still the problem continues.
The only thing that I have done differently today was attempt to print a PDF, but the toner was too low on my printer, so wouldn't print, and I had to end the task of the Reader to shut it down. Maybe something has corrupt there?
I have also used the "Adobe Cleaner" to remove Reader, but it didn't make any difference.
Any help would be really appreciated. Until then I guess  I'll have to use a 3rd party reader
Thanks,
Dean

Assuming that you are on Windows, can you open Task Manager (tab Processes) and check if one or multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe are running?
Also, while Task Manager is still running, open Reader via desktop icon - does a AcroRd32.exe process appear in the Task Manager?

  • Adobe Reader wont open in Remote Desktop virtual pool machine

    I find it very odd that I'm not the only one who's tried to do this and got this error since its EXTREMELY easy to replicate... I'm trying to setup a remote desktop pool of 4 machines so my remote users can access them.  I'm doing a pool because there is never more than 4 users on at once and I'm setting them up to have personal Hard disk file so their settings are saved and they can still connect to any one of the machines since they are all indentical, Similar to roaming profiles.  Now the huge problem is I setup these machines with Adobe Reader 11 and when you log on as one of the users through the remote desktop program the adobe program will crash every time you open it.  After opening and crashing multiple times it will finally open but it will always have a window saying Adobe has experienced an internal error.  The program will also run extremely slow.  If I connect to the virtual box through Hyper-V as an admin or even local user the application will run perfectly normal..  Why wont it run when logging in through RDP and using the profile disks?

    Your log file shows you to be running v10.1.0.534. Could you please update to the latest version which is v10.1.1 and then try again. You can get it from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/
    Also, has a rule been created in the BeyondTrust Software application you appear to be using to allow Reader X to open in Protected Mode? That application might be interfering with the way Reader X operates. There's a demo on their site which might help: http://www.beyondtrust.com/Products/PowerBroker-Desktops-Windows-Edition/Product-Demo/

    Hi ralphb94045450,
    Could you please let me know if you are using the latest patch of Adobe Reader i.e. 11.0.10
    Try disabling 'Enable Protected Mode' option under Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) and check if all the markups appear.

  • Itunes wont open/run

    Hi, i am having problems with opening/running itunes
    this only happens after trying to open itunes after the computer has been asleep
    sometimes when i go to open itunes it doesnt do anything (but itunes does show up in task manager processors), othertimes it opens the itunes screen however i am unable to select any songs or click anything on the screen, etc.
    it sometimes does work when opening in safe mode.
    there is no problem opening itunes after initially turning on the computer.
    any ideas as to why this is happening or how to fix it? my only solution is to restart the computer to be able to use itunes.
    i am running Windows 7 home premium x64
    i have tried reinstalling a number of times and deleting itunes data from the computer
    in task manager itunes shows as 32 bit rather than 64 bit, although i am downloading the 64 bit version

    See if you can get it to open using a blank libary. Press & hold the shift key while opening iTunes, as per this article
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.6/en/15502.html
    It's written for itunes 7.6 but still works for 8

  • Reader wont open a zip file

    When i try to open a zip file with adobe
    reader i get a message saying it is unable
    to open the file either because it is not a
    supported type or the file is corrupt

    Most programs, including Adobe Reader, cannot open documents that are compressed into a ZIP file.  You have to use a dedicated program (such as WinZip, or Windows) to extract the compressed file first, then open it with the target program.

  • Macbook pro runs slow and itunes wont open

    My macbook pro froze and went to a black screen while I was using quicktime so I forced shut down and rebooted and now it runs really slow and itunes and quicktime wont open.  I am completely updated

    Your MBP should be able to accept 6 GB RAM.  I suggect that you install the maximum.  Yosemite should run more efficiently as a result.
    I note that you have Novatel and Sierra wireless installed.  If you do not need one, delete it.
    Ciao.

  • HELP iTunes wont open but runs in system process on xp64 pro

    iTunes was working just the other week. Now all of the sudden it wont open. However it will be running in my system processes taking up 36,752k
    I've searched the forums and tried the suggestions also installing and uninstalling and upgrading to the latest version. iTunes very rarely gives me a problem and nothing major has happened to my system. I need a fix for this ASAP I use iTunes just about every day!!
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Yeah great thanks, but i've been using it on xp64 for a year already with no problems
    Xp64 doesnt have problems running 32bit programs for me
    However there's got to be some kind of registry for this.

    Hi robsterc,
    Now, is it just me or does EVERY SINGLE update to OS X cause a problem with Sarafi - I can remember Safari having issues with at least the last 3 updates.
    Usually this happens when you have 3rd party extensions installed that are not compatible with the latest versions of Safari.
    Can you post the crash report text here and hopefully that will give us a clue where the root of the problem is. You can obtain the crash report text by clicking the (Report...) button in the Unexpectedly Quit window and then copying and pasting the text here.

    Hi adityabhargava01-
    My first suggestion is to upgrade to the most recent version of Firefox by going to this link:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    My second suggestion is to read this article on how to many your preferences on how Firefox deals with PDFs and all other file types:
    [[Options window - Applications panel]]
    I hope that helps!
