Reader X, Windows 7 x64, "Adobe Reader Has Stopped Working" when closing pdfs. Fixed by un/reinstall

I have been having this message after closing pdfs. Yeah, I know it's stopped worked I shut it down. Brand new computer, latest adobex downloaded from website. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixes the problem. Whatever it was... I saw another post with a similar problem from over a year ago with no responses so this is just for info only.

I am not sure if any of these suggestions help; it cured many similar issues in 11.0.3...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • "itunes has stopped working" when closing itunes Windows Vista

    Since November 2007, when I close itunes, I get Windows Vista error "itunes has stopped working" This got worse when it corrupted the itunes library itl file. I deinstalled QT and itunes version 7.5, and went back to version 7.4.3.1 - but the problem persists.
    I believe this problem started with the install of version 7.5
    Below is the crash information from Vista:

    I am running Windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8.  I found a simple solution by browsing through the support communities.  Here it is:   Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    This worked for me.  Good luck.

  • My adobe premiere has stopped working when i start debug in eclipse

    my adobe premiere has stopped working chrome dev tool start
    pls help me, thanks

    The simple answer is that some tool like a virus scanner or generalyl a crooked configuration of local ports due to specific network setups is blocking AE's external communication with those processes. A simple google search could have told you that. You need to figure out what it is.

  • Adobe Encore has stopped working

    Hey a,, I'm a CC user but downloaded (as per Adobe's advice) the old (CS6) version of Premiere which comes with Encore CS6.  Uninstalled Premiere so i was left with just Encore, but it won't even start at all - I immediately get a 'Adobe Encore has stopped working' when starting up the programme.   Any thoughts, anyone?
    APPCRASH / Adobe Encore.exe / Version 6.0.2.4 / Fault Module MSVCR100.dll / 10.0.40219.325
    I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 with Service Pack 1.
    thanks,
    Geoff.

    This is not a common error. I suspect a missing/corrupt file, but do not know.
    I would un/reinstall. This time, even though it should not matter, leave Premiere CS6 installed, at least until all is working.
    I do not know what the recommendations are for using the uninstall cleaner when doing a limited uninstall like this for CC users.

  • Adobe Reader 10.1/ 11 get error "has stopped working" on windows 7 after installed 1 or 2 days, but Adobe Reader is fine==

    Adobe Reader 10.1/ 11 get error "has stopped working" on windows 7 after installed 1 or 2 days, but Adobe Reader is fine==

    Turning off the Protected Mode at Startup setting fixed the problem for me. Switched off all protected mode settings in Preferences exited Adobe Reader XI then restarted. Now I can successfully open files without the program crashing. I run the same versions of Adobe Reader and Norton Internet Security on Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems and the problem only occurred on Windows 7.

    I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro.  The application keeps timing out and  at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes.  The document is 275 pages.  Is there something I can do to stop this?

    Hi Ricci,
    Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
    Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Pro causes an error when starting it - Adobe Acrobat has stopped working. How do I resolve this?

    I've had Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for some time, but yesterday it stopped working and I started having an 'Adobe Acrobat has stopped working' error. It then tells me to Close the Program.
    How do I resolve this?
    Thanks and regards
    Roxanne

    Thanks Pat. I was able to resolve the problem.
    OS is Windows 7 Pro, Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.07.
    I went into the Properties file where I identified that Users only had Read & Execute and Read properties, I changed properties for Everyone to Full Control. That fixed the problem.
    I don't know how the properties got changed to just Read & Execute, but there had been an automatic update the night before.
    Regards

  • Office 2013: Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working

    Hi,
    I have problems with adding additional e-mail address to my Outlook. When I open the Mail Control Panel Item, go to my Exchange Profile and add a new e-mail address I get a popup indicating that the Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working.
    The only way of adding extra e-mail addresses is to remove my entire Outlook Profile. In the initial wizard I can add all Exchange mailboxes that I need (I have 3). After I've configured my Outlook profile I always receive the Rundll32 error. When I try
    to create a second Outlook profile I still get the same error.
    I've tried the following:
    - Repair OST file
    - Repair Office -> Control Panel and Online Repair
    - Reinstall Office
    - Reinstall my entire PC
    It doesn't matter which e-mail address I add in the initial Outlook configuration wizard. I always receive the error when I try to add a new mailbox, even when I add a mailbox that does not exist (e.g. [email protected]).
    Even after reinstalling my PC I still get the same error. I'm using Windows 8.1 (x64) and Office 2013 (32-bit) on a Lenovo W540. None of my colleagues have this issue. It's a domain joined PC and we are not using Roaming Profiles.
    For troubleshooting I also created a local account on my laptop but I get the same issues with this account.

    Hi,
    I'm also using Office 2013 32-bit and Windows 8.1 64-bit on my computer but doesn't get this issue. As you mentioned you reinstalled your PC, the first thing I suggest is to make sure your Windows and Office have been up to date.
    The second thing is to make sure you are using the system with an administrator account, this ensures you the enough permission.
    There is a possibility that some 3rd-party programs are interfering with "Mail", we can try to perform a clean boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with this:
    1.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click
    Search.
    2.Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click
    msconfig.
    3.On the Services tab of the System Configuration
    dialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services
    check box, and then tap or click Disable all.
    4.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration
    dialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager.
    5.On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click
    Disable.
    6.Close Task Manager.
    7.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration
    dialog box, tap or click OK, and then restart the computer.
    If in clean boot the issue doesn't exist, the issue was probably caused by the 3rd-party programs. For further information to troubleshoot, you can refer to this kb below:

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
    programs.

  • I have a user getting an error Adobe Acrobat has stopped working  how do I resolve this?

    Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
    This happens at a variety of times.  Sometimes while scanning sometimes while bookmarking sometimes while adding pages from a file.
    What I have done is made sure the program was up to date, a repair install, updated scanner drivers, replace the scanner with a different model, made sure the workstation was current with MS patches.  Any suggestions would be most welcome.
    Thank you,
    Brad

    Thanks for the reply.  Sorry I wasn't clear the version is XI standard.  And I did check for updates.  The program is current.  Still a few times a day the program will crash and my user will have to start over again on the document she is working on.  Very frustrating for her and me.
    The full error is:
    Adobe Acrobat has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro - Error Message : "Adobe Acrobat Has Stopped Working"

    I use Windows 7 - 64bit / CS6 Master Collection that has Adobe Acrobat x Pro.
    When the computer is on for a little while, Acrobat would generate the error message that it has stopped working and then shuts down. Once that error message occurs, I cannot get Acrobat to stay open. It opens the PDF document, stays open for a few seconds then the error message occurs and it shuts down.
    What helps for a short term is to restart the computer. This seems to temporarily remove the error until the computer is on for a while then the error returns.
    This problem repeats. Product repair feature does not work. This has nothing to do with the license, I tried that fix and it made no differnce. I do not have this issue with other Adobe products included in the master collection.
    It seems fruitless and frustrating to send a message to Adobe Support, the run around with pages and links is like smacking walls on every turn, it is obvious Adobe does not want people contacting their support. Service from Adobe for their products is poor.
    I hope that someone here has the answer to the problem. Anyone?

    Ok, here is the update.
    The link: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html , leads to a webpage that says to download a fix ZIP file named: "Acrofix.ZIP". It contains the file "acrofix.exe".
    I did use this "exe" file about 2 months ago and it did nothing to fix the issue. I used it again today, because the same issue of "Adobe Acorbat has stopped working", occurred again and again it did not work, the problem of "Adobe Acrobat stopped working" presists. Again the only work around, which is temporary, is to reboot the computer.
    So far these do not work:
    Relicensing or Registering the Licence
    Acrofix.exe
    Anyone else have an answer? - or am I the only one suffering this really annoying issue?
