Unable to download Adobe Reader Help please

I just started working at my new job as a receptionist and i am trying to download the adobe reader but after i click on the "RUN" button is asks me for a user name and a password. How can i go about fixing this problem, can anybody help Please?

Your account on that computer is not a system administrator account. This is standard practice on workplace workstations. It saves a lot of headaches for companies. You need to get in touch with your I/T person or department and have them either: change your account to a system admin (which I don't think they'll do-but it's worth a shot) or have them perform the install.

  • Unable to print PDF documents & then unable to download Adobe Reader

    Help,
    I tried to print a PDF document this morning and received the message "The document could not be printed". I clicked OK and received a further message "There were no pages selected to print". My printer will still print word documents, emails and DVD covers produced using Nero Cover Design Essentials.
    I have the latest version of Adobe reader 11.0.07. I went to the Adobe site and repaired Adobe Reader but it made no difference.
    I therefore decided to uninstall Adobe Reader and reinstall it from the Adobe site. It downloaded OK but when I tried to install it I got the following message "Error: General Installation Error". I was using Mozilla Firefox so tried the same with Internet Explorer, with the same result.
    I then downloaded the full Adobe reader from File Hippo, but still got an error message when I tried to install it (see below).
    So I have gone from bad to worse and don't even have Adobe reader on my PC any more. The problem only surfaced this morning and last night I uninstalled two programs I decided I didn't need any more; Auslogics Disc Defrag and AVG PC Tuneup, but don't understand how uninstalling them could have caused the problem.

    Hi again Pat,
    I checked the permissions in my Temp folder and there were none. So I ticked all the boxes, but when I ticked OK I got the permission denied message again, so the problem is still tied to me not having administrator privileges. Strange thing is that even though I was denied permission, the boxes still stayed ticked. However nothing has changed as far as my problems are concerned.
    It would appear to me that the answer is to get my administrator privileges back, but I have been unsuccessful in that so far. I purchased a complete PC from a good supplier but the Windows 7 setup disc that came with it does not have the "Repair Your Computer" function on it, which I understand would allow me to sort out my administrator privileges? When I rang Microsoft and asked if there was any way I could obtain that function, by download or otherwise, they weren't at all interested as I hadn't purchased Windows 7 directly from them.
    As for downloading Adobe Reader via the MSI folder, I don't need to do that because when I recovered my backup from an earlier period I once more had Adobe Reader. I can use Adobe Reader to open a PDF document but it would appear I must have administrator privileges in order to print a PDF document, which was how the situation was before I decided to uninstall Adobe Reader and download a new version. I can print any other type of document so obviously Adobe demands more before it will allow printing.
    In the early stages I also downloaded Foxit Reader, as I had read good things about it, but again, for the same reasons, I could not install it.
    I have googled "problem with loss of admin privileges" and got a lot of hits. I will try some of the suggestions that don't appear too complex, but if they fail I will go back to the supplier. I have to sort it. I have seen suggestions about starting a new account but am not sure what to do there, or indeed, if I should do that.
    Thanks for all the attempts to help me so far,
    Barry

  • I am unable to download adobe reader

    I have been trying to download adobe reader with no success.  I am using windows vista - and it starts to download then I get an error message after 66% downloaded which states "General Installation Error".  I used to be able to open pdf files but recently have a message on my computer, unable to preview as no reader installed.  I am not a very competent computer user, but usually manage . I hope someone with more knowledge and understanding of computers can assist me. 

    You may want to try the following:
    Run this fix from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall

    If you want to reinstall Reader, download it from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Unable to download Adobe Reader 8

    First, removed all previous Reader and Album Starter files using the add/remove programs in the control panel.
    Tried downloading both the Reader and Photoshop Album Starter together and then just the Reader. Neither of several attempts completed Adobe Reader downloading.
    Got the following error message in GetPlus "Execution of Download Failed. "pase320_en_us.exe"". Hit OK and the downloading continued.
    Got the following Windows error message (the box with the big red X) about 90% of the way through the download.
    C:\DOCUME~1\DCEE76~1.KIN\LOCALS~1\TEMP\ADOBE READER 8___\SETUP.EXE
    Windows cannot access the specified path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
    This was the result each time I attempted a download.
    Nothing was downloaded to my PC. (Windows XP Pro).
    Now I do not have any way to see pdf's or any other function Adobe Reader provides. Hope there is a solution!

    Thanks for the info. Was able to down load but still unable to view PDF's.
    Got the following messages:
    "Yellow Triangle with ! inside" Message
    "ADOBE PDF DOCUMENT"
    "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again."
    Then the Box with OK inside.
    Selected the OK and got the following message with the Red box with the X inside:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\"My Name"\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\R7Z4B5...."
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
    Any help would be highly appreciated!!!

  • Problem with downloading apps. "Unable to download application" error.Help please!

    I'm having a major issue with updating or downloading apps. They won't download! I try to download an app, it's says "waiting", then it looks like it's about to download. Then, suddenly, the "loading"  bar gets halway filled, then it goes back to saying "waiting". This cycles about three or so times and then I get this message: "Unable to download application. Could not be downloaded at this time" with choices to be "done" or "retry".
    I have tried EVERYTHING to fix this. I tried pausing the download and restarting, I tried soft and hard resets, I tried signing out and back into the App Store, I tried resetting my settings, I tried restoring the phone as a new iPhone, nothing works! I am at my wits end! I have an appointment at the Genius bar tomorrow, but I'm hoping someone here can help me so I won't have to keep that appointment.  I've tried searching for my problem in the forums but none of the results are like mine. Could someone please help?
    EDIT: I also tried checking the iTunes queue. No purchases are stuck in the queue.

    Just wanted to update, since I can no longer edit my original post. I tried disabling bluetooth. That didn't do any good, either.

  • Unable to download Adobe Reader for Windows 7

    I purchased a Dell Intel Core Dueo CPU, 64-bit with Windows 7 Home Premium computer about 9 months ago. I never was able to get the Adobe Reader to work so I started using Foxit.  I would prefer to use Adobe, so recently I tried to update newer version (Adobe Reader X).  It keeps giving me the error message (when I try to download it):  "can't retrieve essential parameter (16291.301.749)"
    When I tried to download an earlier version of Adobe (like Above 9.1), it downloads and appears to be there, but when I open it freezes up and never opens.
    Please help - thanks -

    WOW!  Double WOW -- you are awesome.  This worked perfectly.  I've owned the computer for almost a year and Adobe has never worked.  Thank you so much!!

  • Unable to download Adobe Reader (Free version)

    I use Windows 8. When I finished downloaded the Adobe Reader XI, a message shown on the screen" MAPIR.dll is missing from the computer. Please install again the program". No way I can stall this program after many trials. Please help.
    Tim

    Googled about the MAPIR.dll it looks like this is something to do with Microsoft Office Applications.
    It looks like MS has some hotfix for this error.You might want to ask in MS forums?

  • Unable to Download Adobe?  Help!

    Has anyone ever been unable to downlaod Adobe because of Data Execution Prevention?  My computer is older and has never been able to open a pdf file, so I really need Adobe, but cannot install it due to this DEP thing.  Help!  How can I get rid of this?
    Thanks!!
    baschram

    If a program is failing and you want to disable DEP to see if that is  the cause.  Here are the steps.  (Just disable DEP for the program in  question… don’t disable it for your whole system.)
    1. Click Start
    2. Select Control Panel
    3. Select System
    4. Click the Advanced tab
    5. In the Performance region select Settings
    6. Click the Data Execute tab in the dialog box that opens
    7. Select Turn on DEP for all programs and services except for those I select
    8. Click Add
    9. The open dialog box will open.  Browse and select your application. (in this case, the Adobe Reader installer.exe)
    10. Click Open
    11. Click Apply
    12. Click Ok
    13. Reboot

  • Download Adobe Reader help

    ???I am attempting to download the latest version of Adobe Reader and I get the 1st window showing the download, then a window pops up to save the file and I am instrusted to click it with a box below telling me when a box like this pops up, then double click on the file name and another window should appear telling to Run it. The 1st thing occurs as in the download, then the 1st window shows that I click Save and then I wait and wait for the next window to appear. I haven't seen it yet so I cannot double click the program name and go to the next window which has not appeared either where I am supposed to Run the program.
    What is the preferred method to accomplish this download if it won't do it automatically as the instructions say.

    Hi Richard,
    Try downloading it offline...

  • Adobe reader help please

    hi. have just subscribed and paid for adobe reader convert pdf to word docs on my phone. now on the pc, will not allow me to convert to word, just asks me to subscribe but i already have! please help!

    Hi there nmharris,
    You should definitely be able to use your subscription on both your phone and your computer. It sounds like you just haven't signed in to ExportPDF on your computer.  From the ExportPDF website, click Sign in at the upper-right corner, and log in to the service with your Adobe ID credentials. Now, when you click ExportPDF, you'll be prompted to select PDF files to export, instead of being asked to subscribe.
    Please let us know if you need additional help.
    Best,
    Sara

  • UNable to Download Adobe reader files

    I have the free Adobe reader.  Back about four months ago i started having trouble downloading and reading PDF files
    They would come up as Nitro tabs.  When i cliked on them they would ask how i wanted to download, as pdf, Html, download.
    No matter which way i tried i was unble to get them.  Ended up with a blank scree.
    Any idea what i am doing wrong? 

    What is your operating system & version?
    What is your web browser?
    What is your Reader version?
    What if you download the PDF files to your local disk, then open them from there?

  • Unable to download Adobe Reader.

    Temporarily disabled Virus Protection.  Still won't download.  According to Reader Quick Fix page, JavaScript needs to be enabled.  Where do I find JavaScript?

    Have you tried another browser?
    As a rule, I never attempt to download anything with IE. Microsoft has left it so full of security holes that it tries to block everything except viruses it seems.
    Firefox is my browser of preference, but I use Safari an awful lot too. Once you get used to FF, Chrome, Opera or Safari, and see how much better any of them work, you'll wonder why you ever used IE for so long (other than it came with Windows).
