  • 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!!

    ?? I cannot open PDF files ?? Adobe Reader 8, Windows Vista, Firefox Browser ?? help ??

    Why the question marks? Can you open PDF files or not? You don't need Firefox to open PDF files.

  • 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
    Uninstall all traces of any versions of Reader using Add/Remove Programs
    If you want to reinstall Reader, download it from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Why not run Adobe Reader on Windows Vista

    Do not run Adobe Reader 10.0(download from Adobe website) on Windows Vista® Home Basic(SP2), there is always a message from Windows system: Windows DEP closed Adobe Reader,and I do not adjust the DEP of  Adobe Reader.What can I do?

    No. I cannot open Adobe Reader by itself.
    Then try downloading "protected11.zip (338 bytes)", unzip, then run it. Finally,Adobe Reader can not be opened.
    OS is Windows Vista® Home Basic(SP2) ,Chinese edition.
    How to do next?

  • Error 1935 when downloading Adobe Reader on Windows 8.

    I am trying to download Adobe Reader on my new Windows 8 computer. I have the app, but I need the program to work on the desktop of the system, so that pdfs and word documents can be open side-to-side. Dell has been unhelpful in solving this problem. Can you tell me how to fix this problem?

    Is there anything else beside the number 1935?

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Barry

    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

  • Link to download adobe reader for windows Me

    hi i still run windows Me,and i erroniously uninstalled adobe reader.could someone pkease please direct me to alink that i would be able to download adobe reader to my system.

    Windows ME compatibility was dropped after Adobe Reader 6, and the Adobe website doesn't supply versions prior to 9.
    You can however download the installer for Adobe Reader 6.02 from the FTP archives:
    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/6.x/6.0/enu
    Customer support for Adobe Reader 6 was stopped long ago, so it will not be updated to protect against security issues.

  • Cannot download Adobe Reader in Windows 7 on Dell computer

    Whenever I try to download Adobe Reader, when I press "Finish" on installation, the Adobe logo takes over the whole computer and I cannot access any programme.  The entire taskbar becomes a series of Adobe logos and all programmes are preceded by the logo.
    I cannot access anything and am forced each time simply to uninstall it again, and go back to Foxit Reader, but I really would prefer Adobe.  Adobe Flash Player works fine on the computer.  Can anyone help please?

    Hi penelopes6554204,
    I am sorry that you are experiencing this issue.
    Please try to download Latest version of Adobe Reader i.e Adobe Acrobat Reader DC using this link  Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions & check if you still experience the same issue.

  • 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!!!

  • Downloading Adobe Reader for Windows should be simple and it's not.  I'm surprised and frustrated!

    Can someone tell me which link on the download site I should use?  All I want is the free reader for Windows 8.1.
    Can't you do a better job on this?

    Why am I getting a message that Adobe Reader won't install or download because something is wrong with windows installer?

    Is that really the message that Windows gives you?
    What is your Windows version?  What is your Windows Installer version?

  • 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?

Maybe you are looking for
