Reader X not responding

I upgraded my machine and my wife's (identical hardware and version of Vista.  My wife's works fine.  Mine is OK on some pdf files, but blanks the Reader window below the window header with documents showing the word SECURED in the file name at the top of the window. Any further mouse activity gets a "Not Responding" message in the header.  The only difference I am aware of is my security settings are tougher than my wife's.  I would apprecate know which settings to tweak or where to find a copy of Reader 9.  Thanks.

Problem solved.  Thanks very much Inayal.

  • After completing my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10 When I attpemt to use "Tools/File/File Save As" from IE 11 I get a "Adobe Reader is not Responding" and my browser is locked up.

    After completing my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10. when I attempt to save an online PDF to my local drive I receive a blank window where I would expect to see file directory structure to save to.
    No local directories are displayed for "Saving To", it is all blank.   When I try to Close (by clicking X)  the "File Save As" box a message pops up on top that says "Adobe Reader is not Responding"  It locks up all of my IE windows, not just the one with the PDF doc.
    I then need to go Task Manager and stop the IE task.  All my browser windows are then closed.
    That is the only way to recover from the "Adobe Reader is Not Responding" message.
    This was not happening in previous versions of Reader.
    Tolls/File/File Save As always worked properly.
    I have installed IE 11 (11.0.9600.17690)

    Please don't post the same question multiple times!

  • Adobe Reader Does Not Respond in Windows 8

    I need to do a simple edit of a pdf. I've been editing pdfs using nothing but the free Adobe reader for years. Now I got a new laptop - 64 bit Windows 8 and I installed the current reader. I need the Adobe reader for other programs I work with.  I have noticed that the adobe reader is slow to open and constantly says "not responding." I also cannot get it to respond so that I can fill in a form (i.e., a basic edit), which I could always do.  Please tell me how to fix this!

    I figured it out!  I have Adobe Reader XI on my desktop. I opened it up. I went to Edit/Preferences/Security (Enhanced) and disabled the "Protected Mode at startup." My Adobe pdfs now respond and I can edit them without issue.

  • Help! Adobe Reader XI "Not Responding" in Win7

    Does anyone know how to fix my problem.  I am currently running Adobe Reader XI with Win 7.  It was working fine but something happened.  I don't think I installed any new updates but something must have happened automatically.
    I have uninstalle and reinstalled - no fix
    I have tested with various browsers - no fix
    I have updated adobe plug-in
    I have updated adobe flash
    I have updated adobe air
    I am at a loss of what to do - I get work email with pdf's and I can open but as soon as that happens Reader gives me a message "not responding."
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you, I was able to open Reader by itself and disabled Protected Mode, now
    it works.  I don't understand why but I am happy to be able to print docs from
    email again.
    Thanks! : )

  • PDF help. printing PDFs make acrobat or reader go not responding.

    Whenever i try to print or go to print setup in either Acrobat or Reader it cause the program to not respond and i will have to exit the program and it will not print. But if i right-click a .pdf file (like saved on my desktop) and click print it will print just fine.... I am using Acrobat 8.2.6....i think. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    As Michael said, it is probably a conflict between the two. You may be able to uninstall Reader (assume you have Reader 9) and repair Acrobat. Uninstalling one will usually break the other and the repair should fix it.

  • Adobe Reader XI "not responding" Windows 7.

    Everytime I try to open a document with Adobe it freezes and gives me the "not responding" message.

    Hi susansolomon
    Please navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\ folder and double-clicked the Eula.exe. It displayed the End User License Agreement window and I clicked 'Accept'.
    See if that works for you.

  • Adobe Reader XI not responding to my pc ?

    I recently installed Adobe Reader Xi and chose not to have google chrome.  Ever since I went back to Google, my pc with Windows 7 keeps saying Adobe Reader not responding and I tried to install Adobe Reader again and it said it was already installed. Why will my computer no longer responde to Adobe Reader?

    Hi Top Cook,
    Please let me know the exact error message that comes up while launching Adobe Reader.

  • Adobe reader does not respond

    Just updated to Adobe reader 11 and it hangs when opened.  Error says not responding.  Running Windows 7.  Have uninstalled and re-installed multiple times.

    There's a panel of tools on the right sside that needs to initialize on the first launch. Depending on your processor and RAM it maky take  a while. My old e-machine took nearly three minutes when I first launched Reader XI.  If it simply "locks up", then you need to remove ALL of it, using the Adobe Cleaner.
    Then download and reinstall using the offline installer.
    Reboot and before anything else is running, open Reader.
    Let it fully open and initialize the tools panel.
    Open a PDF, and click Tools, Comment or Sign to close the panel. Close the PDF and Close Reader.
    When you reopen it, the panel should stay closed and it will open fully immediately.

  • Reader dos not respond after update installation

    My system is Win7 and yesterday after installation of an update for my Reader 10.0 version the program does not respond. I tried to uninstall and reinstall it many times but the result is always the same: when I double click onto the Reader symbole, the icon appears for 5 seconds trying to load the program and then disappears.
    How to proceed?

    Two more things to try...
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Adobe reader XI not responding

    Like so many others, I have started to get a 'non responding' response when trying to use adobe reader. I have posted a new question as I have yet to find an answer on the myriad of forums that I have searched.
    I am using adobe reader XI.0.08 on Windows Vista 32 bit, and Chrome.
    The problem started when I was unable to print a document (the programme had worked fine previously although I had a similar problem with it a couple of years ago. This seemed to resolve spontaneously and I'm not sure why this is back). Any button I clicked resulted in non responding message. I searched forums and originally managed to get into the settings by opening the programme rather than a file, and I accepted the EULA, I changed the number of documents remembered to 1, I changed the security settings in protected mode as advised by others, I repaired the programme through my control panel, rebooted, did full systems scans etc, all to no avail!
    Unfortunately I can't work out how to use another reader when I get a pdf email attachment.  It will open but I cannot scroll / print, or open any menus without the file hanging and then returning non responding.
    This seems to be such a wide spread problem. Some people have found work around's but these have either not worked for me, or I cannot open a menu heading to try.
    Please advise me how to correct this, or please advise how I can use an alternative tool to open files. (you can probably tell I'm not 'super-tech'!  - I just want something reliable and basic that allows me to access information that others are sending me!)

    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself (e.g. from the Desktop icon)?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If that does not work, I suggest that you revert to an earlier version 10.1.12, as Reader XI is not supported on Windows Vista.  You'll need to uninstall Reader XI before reverting to Reader X.

  • Adobe reader XI not responding, multiple instances in the task manager is XI junk?

    Hey everyone!
    I need some help, I have about 175 computers that im working on and a hand full (more as the days go on) of them are having a problem with adobe reader XI.
    Here is what is happening.
    If im online pulling up a pdf from a finance company we use the pdf will begin to open (within the browser) and then you will get the blue loading bar
    and then it gets almost to the end (somewhere between 80% and 99%) and then it will just freeze up or just display a white page where the pdf should be. It is doing this across a bunch of sites not just one or two.
    The other thing i have noticed is that there are multiple instances (10 - 20) of the adobe reader xi in the task mananger if you close all them out some times it will start working some times it wont.
    Here is what i have done.
    1. removed adobe XI
    2 reset the browsers
    3 changed the settings with in reader XI
    4 used the removal tool
    5 tried a different browser
    Im runing out of options!
    HELP
    I have reader 11.0.10

    What is the operating system on these computers?  What browser are they using?

  • Adobe Reader X not responding  in Vista

    Hi, it seems that Adobe Reader is either taking too much time to load certain PDFs n (especially Secured PDFs) or crashes. Vista gives that Reader was closed due to Data Execution Prevention. I have not encountered this problem with Reader 9 before. It was way quicker.
    And is it possible to open the same page after closing a particular document in Reader X , which was possible with Adobe Reader 9.
    Thanks

    Thank you, I was able to open Reader by itself and disabled Protected Mode, now
    it works.  I don't understand why but I am happy to be able to print docs from
    email again.
    Thanks! : )

  • Reader got "not responding" for a minute after click a hyperlink in PDF document

    Hi.  Anyone got similar experience that the Reader hanged for a while after clicked a hyperlink (to an internal website)?  From the NetMon trace, it showed that the Reader made query to our internal DNS with an unknown FQDN (just "com.hk"), then waited for time-out and came back the response.  Want to know the mechanism how and why it makes such query.  My Acrobat Reader is in version 10.1.3.
