Trying to install Adobe Reader and won't run!

I uninstalled Adobe Reader because nothing would come up when websites had PDF files any more.   I figured it would be really easy to reinstall Reader from the website and now nothing happens when I try to run the installer.   (I had to download the installer in Safe Mode, by the way, because my computer didn't let me install it through the normal means).  I have a lot of pdf files on my computer I need to view every day and now I'm in a world of hurt because I can't open them.  Can someone please help me figure out how to get my installer to work?  Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean about clearing everything after Adobe.  I did want to say that when I try to download the installer, I get the error message --
"Setup.exe application error.  The instruction at 0x02a10a4 referenced memory at 0x0a28f0e.3.  The memory could not be read.  Click on OK to terminate the program."
When I try to close the error box, it basically stops everything from working. 
I got the installer to work only as far as to get through the first phase.  When it starts to actually download, this error message comes up.

    Did you look "manually" for remnants of an old Reader installation ? (you could eventually try searching the drive for files and folders named Adobe )
    Some suggests , as the previous thread contributor , that this is an issue with respect to remnants of an old installation :

    Other suggests it could be a corrupted file issue :
    and suggests :
    At a command prompt (run as administrator), do:
    C:\>chkdsk c: /f /v
    and then reboot the machine. A chkdsk of the system drive can only run while
    the system is booting.

    Are you saying that Adobe Reader or Preview can't read PDF file that you download? Or, are you saying that you can't display PDF files in your Safari broweer? If the latter, then delete any AdobePDFViewer plugins you find in /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and restart. That should allow Safari to display PDFs in its window. BTW, that's the worst place to view them. Better to download them and use Adobe Reader or Preview.

  • Hello. My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files. Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????? I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9

    My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
    Please help me!!!!

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I tried to download Adobe Reader and it said that I did not have sufficient privledge

    Hi- I just tried to download Adobe rEader and it said that the download was unsuccessful as I did nto have sufficient priviledge.

    Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.
    You must either login to an Adminstrator account to run the installer, or right-click on the downloaded installer and select 'Run as Administrator'.

    This means that something in your registry is pointing to a drive that doesn't exist; see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327763

  • After upgrading to 3.6.12 pdf files do not open, I've tried using both Adobe Reader and Foxit. They would open fine before.

    Since upgrading to Firefox 3.6.12 when in a website I try to open a PDF file, I get a blank page. I tried using both Foxit and Adobe Readers and made sure they were listed in Applications area under Options.

    Hi there,
    You have to go to "Extras" , then -> "Add-ons".
    Deactivate the following plugin:
    "Adobe Acrobat and Reader Plug-in 7.0.9"
    With the very best wishes!
