Unable to download and install Adobe Reader

While trying to download and install Adobe Reader, when I click on OPEN, nothing happens.  When I click on SAVE, I receive the message download failed.  When I retry, a file is downloaded; however, I am unable to open the file.  I am using Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 11.

I am using WIN XP PRO SP 3.0 32 bit on a desktop....
I have tried 3 times to re-install Adobe Reader for Windows, but it keeps on telling me that the installation was unsuccessful...I have tried to find out more, I seem to have met all the requirements, and yes I tried that link, too.....
Any ideas? I know this Q & A was last year,  but maybe you might have found an answer for me, as I uninstalled my current version before I started, now I wish I had left it alone....but I was trying to fix another problem on Firefox, which said I had to re-install anything from Adobe, to see if it would fix my little problem, now I have a bigger problem!!
The 1st problem was I cannot upload pics on Facebook, now I find I cannot upload a pic for Adobe, (on my profile page)!!!! I can still insert/upload a pic on Word, however....
I do hope you might be able to help me, as I am a novice when it comes to fixing problems....
Many thanks....Peace & Love
Sylvia

    I just downloaded and installed Adobe Reader X.  It does not send the view to the installed printers.
    It is unbelievable to me that Adobe would broadcast a flawed product like this.

I JUST PURCHASED THE ELEMENTS 13 AND THERE IS 0 TECH SUPPORT. THANKS AGAIN BRIAN. """DINO"""

  • Problems downloading and installing Adobe Reader X

    I had problems with Adobe Reader X (couldn't print pdf documents, very slow opening and sometimes didn't open) so uninstalled it from my computer to see if downloading the latest version would get rid of the issues.   I am running Windows Vista Home Basic. 
    I am unable to install Adobe Reader X - it gets to a point where it should be installed and I get an error 1303 message, telling me that I need to log in as administrator (which I am).  When I retry the installation, I keep getting the same message.  What can I do?   I have quite a number of pdf documents that I now can't even open and read.
    Many thanks in advance for any help that's there!

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

    I am trying to download Adobe Reader, I have Windows 7 on my PC. Every time I get the download, I click on it to install the program, and I get the usual messages but I never get the install message. When I try the download again, I get a message telling me only one copy of the program can go on the computer. When I check the program list, it is not there. I have to restore my computer before I can attempt the download and install again. I have tried this at least 6 times but cannot install Adobe Reader. Please help me out with this. I really like this product and prefer to use it. I had o originally delete the program, due to an update conflict.

  • Unable to download and install adobe acrobat x1

    I bought and installed Adobe Acrobat XI pro from a retail outlet and registered it on my Adobe Account.
    I have no changed computers and was trying to re-install the software, however the disc is scratched and so I was trying to download and install from my adobe online account. As I was unable to locate a download link, I downloaded a trial version and installed it and then fed in my serial number - I now get a message that my serial number is not valid!
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi Sammy,
    Can you please share the last 4 digit of your serial number so that we Can confirm that you are using the correct serial number. And the platform you have installed the product is on Windows only?
    Cheers,

  • Trying to download and install Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.1.

    trying to download and install Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.1. and keep running into "Ligfhtroom_4_LS11_w_LS11_w...exe 730/730 MB, Interupted" after the 7-8 minute down load. ANy thoughts as to what I amor am not doing cauing this interruption?

    Stay on the download website, do not navigate to a different website, and do not use the back button on your browser.
    If nothing od the above applied inyour case - it might just be a lot of traffic on the download website. Try at a better time - with less web traffic - for instance in the morning.
    Alternatively: If you see a <Continue> button after you get the "interrupted" message, click on it.

  • I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option.

    # Question
    I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

    I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
    That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.
