Unable to repair, delete or reinstall Acrobat Elements 6.0

When attempting to reinstall a corrupted version of Acrobat Elements 6.0, I receive an error message that says Error 1606. Could not access network location ?/;xlstart." This is a fatal error and the machine is not on a network. There is no option offered to state a path to xlstart even if I knew where it normally is found.
Does anyone have an idea how to spoof the system into allowing an uninstall to run?

Here is an article that has some suggestions for the 1606 install error.

Unable to update, deleted and reinstalled Itunes and my Pioneer DVR 218-L will not run. Install corrupted driver. Have tried to delete and reinstall 3 times 11.1.64 and not working?

I recently attempted to " update " iTunes and received the missing .dll and Windows error message it seems everyone is posting. I had to delete not only Itunes, but the Apple update and other associated file in order to get my Pioneer DVD DVR 218-L to work. The driver would not work and Microsoft had no fix for this. It told my registry was corrupt. Apple should certainly fix this problem. Now I cannot run iTunes at all unless I do not want a functioning DVD drive?

I am having the same issue with Vista 64 bit: After many failed download attempts ("network error") the Progress Bar briefly appears and that's it.
Searched for solution that led me to running "Microsoft FixIt", deinstalling iTunes, Apple Software Update, Mobile Dev Support, Bonjour, and Application Support - even manually deleting common files that were left over (tough with Vista). No difference. FYI, I was able to get rid of the Apple folder in Program Files (x86)/Common File, but not in Program Files/Common Files ... but that shouldn't make a difference as I am installing iTunes64Setup.exe, right?
I even tried iTunes 10.7 and 10.6.3 from Apple's support page ... same differnce.
Had a lot of security updates on 1/22/14 (all related to Office 2007 (including SP3), though). So I tried to restore past this point, but an "unknown error" occurred and I am stuck where I am ... lovely.
So now my system is chopped and I seem to not be able to get iTunes even close to my computer ... :-(

Reinstalling Acrobat 8 Pro from CS3 Design Premium, asking for Photoshop Elements 6 CD??

Hi.
I use a Macbook Pro with Leopard OS X version 10.5.8, 2.6 Ghz Intel Core Duo, $ GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
I use Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium which came with Acrobat 8 Professional. Now, for a while I've been having issues updating Acrobat because it said it had been modified blah blah and something about plugins being disabled, so to rectify reinstall and run updates. I've seen alot of people on forums with this same issue.
For a long time I ignored this as the program was still working, but today it urked me enough to unistall (which I did by dragging it from the applications to trash) and try to reinstall.
So I tried. Put the CD in, selected only Acrobat 8 Pro for reinstallation, all went well until it asked me to put in the Photoshop Element 6 CD.... which I never had. Although the program does come on the CD. So i'm left confused, without acrobat pro and wishing i had never uninstalled!
I hope this makes some sort of sense. Any help would be much appreciated!

I resorted to using the live chat feature that Adobe have on the website. We found that once everything was uninstalled and then just reinstalled Acrobat alone, I wasn't asked to insert the Photoshop Elements 6 CD to continue and everything was fine. No problems. But, when I tried to then reinstall the rest of the suite, it asked for the CD.
So, the way to avoid it asking for the CD was to uninstall CS3 Design Premium completely and then reinstall all the programs. And everything seems to be working fine.
Maybe this was an obvious solution, but I didn't want to risk uninstalling all the programs only to be asked for a non-existent CD when reinstalling.
Anyway, hopefully someone else will find this helpful.

Just installed Firefox, and the page won't load. It says unable to connect. Already deleted and reinstalled and followed some tips on the website. It's still not working? Help.

I downloaded Firefox 4 on another laptop without issue (it has windows 7). I downloaded it again on another computer (a lil older with Windows Vista) and it wouldn't open from the very beginning. I fixed the firewall as stated in the help section. I also updated the internet connection settings as stated in the help section. I also deleted and reinstalled it twice, but nothing still works. :-(

Did you ever fix this, because I am having the same problem

Reinstall Acrobat 9

I need to reinstall Acrobat 9 (I have the serial number from my original purchase) after a trial of XI Pro. Anyone have any luck with this? Adobe said they can't help and I just need to purchase the newest version.

What is the issue? Do you have the install CD? Have you tried the install and what happened, what error messages? What is your OS? If you did not uninstall, AA9, then just uninstall the trial, open AA9 and run Help>repair. This can also be done from the control panel.
If you do not have AA9 any more or the repair does not work, you should uninstall the trial (and AA9 if still left -- can be done from the control panel if needed), run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, delete any parts left of the Acrobat folder, reboot as the administrator, turn off anti-virus, and reinstall, then update.
So, what is the problem? Have you even tried the install?

HELP: Need to reinstall Acrobat X Pro

I own Creative Suite Suite 6 Design and Web premium ver.
After the last maintenance update to Acrobat X Pro I was getting hundreds of Distiller errors and Bonjour errors. After trying a "repair" of Acrobat Pro X with no joy I uninstalled it. Downloaded a fresh copy of Acrobat X from the Adobe site and am trying to install it. It is rejecting my serial number. This is the SAME serial number shown on the ABOBE site AND on my boxed product.
I need to be able to contact Adobe for a solution but can find no way to do so. IS there a phone number I can call because I need Acrobat installed and functioning w/out errors!
Thank you!

Hello ~m,
I'm very sorry, that unfortunately these efforts have not been successful, so I'd like to give some more detailed descriptions:
The software always install as trials, when you input your serial number or log into CC (if these are Creative Cloud versions) then the trial disappears and the software is activated.
I qoute from another thread:
Please first try to delete the OPM.db before anything else, we only recommend the re-installation when we've tried all the steps possible.
1. Clean Up cached user login information
2.Close the Creative Cloud application.
3.Navigate to the OOBE folder.
Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
4.Delete the opm.db file.
5.Launch Creative Cloud.
... and Adobe has provided this Troubleshoot Creative Cloud download and install issues
... and what concerns Cleaner Tool: The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it (see above).
3. Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations.
Good luck!

P.S.
maybe you have found a member of Adobe's staff, so you could send a private message.

Acrobat Elements.exe memory could not be read

Every time I right click on either a Word or Excel document and select Convert To PDF, it immediately gives the error:
Acrobat Elements.exe - Application Error - The instruction at "xxxxxxx" referenced memory at "xxxxxxx". The momory could not be "read".
Has anyone come across this and know how to resolve? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 8 Standard and ran all of the updates as well as ran a repair and all of the updates for MS Office. It happens on multiple machines running Office 2003 and 2007.

Problem reinstalling Acrobat

A couple of years ago I bought Adobe CS3 Web Premium. About six months or so ago, I downloaded Photoshop Elements 6 for the Mac, just to try it out. I decided I didn't really need another photo processing program, so I deleted it after the trial period was up.
I am now trying to reinstall Acrobat from the CS3 package, and the install gets to a certain point and then says that it needs me to insert the Photoshop Elements 6 disc. I never had nor do I have that disk as I never purchased the program.
I looked in the directories and tried to find whatever is still on the computer from PSE 6 and I can't find anything. I deleted the files in the library, but that's it.
Any ideas? I really need to get Acrobat back up and running as I have a number of pdf files to create.
Thanks,
Carole

I found an program that was supposed to unistall it, but it didn't work.
Then I thought I'd go to Adobe and redownload it, reinstall it, and then
uninstall it, but it's no longer available. Only PSE 8 is available. I still
can't get the CS3 disk to install anything as it keeps stopping and wanting
the PSE6 disk.

Unable to use Organiser in both Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements

I am unable to use Organizer in both Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements. An error message appears, "The catalog could not be opened. An internal program error occurred."
I have tried to repair the catalog, starting a new catalog, and reinstalled both programs, but the error persists.
I am using Elements and Premier Elements V12 on Windows 8.1.
Any help to get me going again would be appreciated.
Thanks
Colin

Hello
Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't make any difference.
However, by trail and error I have found a 99% solution.
Right Click the Elements icon on Desktop.
Select Troubleshoot Compatibility.
Select Troubleshoot Program
Select a problem option (I used Other)
Select Windows Version (Windows 8 for me)
Select Test the Program
If it works, which it did in my case, Save the settings.
This seems to have resolved my problem, with the exception that I now get an extra screen when opening Elements to allow the program to make changes to my computer. I can live with that.
When I get time I will check whether there are any Adobe or Windows updates that will make this step unnecessary.
I hope this will help other people with the same problem.
Thanks for responding.

Need to reinstall Acrobat 7.1 Pro on Panther

I'm running OS X 10.3.9 and meet all other system and hardware requirements for CS2.3 Premium, which I recently purchased and installed.
The instructions for CS 2.3 Premium installation said to skip Acrobat 7 Pro and install Acrobat 8 after the Suite install.
Word-for-word from the instructions:
4. Select the components you would like to install, except Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and click Continue ...
7. ...insert the Creative Suite 2.3 Premium Upgrade with Acrobat 8 Professional DVD.
8. Copy the Acrobat 8 Professional folder onto your hard disk ...
My set of 4 disks had no options for a custom install, so I proceeded to install everything and uninstalled 7 later, then installed 8 as instructed.
When I realized Acrobat 8 won't run on Panther, it was too late. In the Read Me file on the Acrobat 8 disk, it said I would need 10.4.3 or higher. Why wasn't this stated in the initial Suite install instructions?
There's some misleading info here. I opened a case with Adobe, and the case was "Withdrawn." Here's the response I got:
"A Technical Support specialist has reviewed your support request. We regret to inform you that complimentary support for Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 Is not available and/or has expired." (Form letter?)
But they kindly provided a link for service contract sign-up. I also received an email promoting new products...
I have already run an uninstall for Acrobat 8 and ferreted out and trashed all Acrobat 7 files using Adobe's instructions on this site.
Is there a way to reinstall Acrobat Professional 7 without moving the entire Suite to the trash as described in the Adobe Creative Suite "Read Me First" file?
When I put in the Suite install disk, I get this message after entering my admin. password:
"The application Adobe Installer has unexpectedly quit"
Could my disks be defective after only one use?
I also ran some maintenance and found out I have a corrupt user Pref:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.ami.installer.plis
(No "t" at the end on log report)
I've searched this site and haven't seen that anyone has had a similar problem. Does any of this sound familiar? Any words of wisdom?
If it helps ...
Current hardware/software:
G4 450 APG, with 1.75 GB memory.
Hard drive (new, Maxtor STM320080A) OS X 10.3.9 on the 1st partition (98.18 GB) OS 9.2.1 on the 2nd partition (29.92 GB)
Purchased & installed CS 2.3 shortly after replacing hard drive and installing Panther.

Thank you for your input. I realize now that the problem is bigger than that. I've done a lot of research since I wrote the initial post, and I think there are compatibility issues.
All my other CS2.3 applications erred out after uninstalling Acrobat 8 and the remnants of 7. After doing some research, I found that when installing from the Suite, some programs have shared files that can be deleted unintentionally after uninstalling individual apps.
I ended up deleting the entire CS2.3 Suite.
In the CS2 Read Me First file, that the recommended OSes for CS2.3 are Mac OS X v.10.2.8 through v.10.3.8 (10.3.4 through 10.3.8 recommended; G5 requires v.10.3 or later.) 10.3.9 is never mentioned. I was sure my OS was compatible when I purchased the Suite. Wrong, obviously!
The packaging on the Suite says 10.4.3 is required. The upgrade disk in the Suite for Acrobat 8 is the only app. that requires 10.4.3. If you follow the Suite installation instructions, it says NOT to install Acrobat 7. There is no word about system compatibility on the initial Suite instructions, and Read Me First files weren't updated with the Suite package (I'm sure the "Premium" marketing didn't included thatjust a repackaging of the original Suite with some add-ons.)
I have decided to reformat my hard drive and install OS 10.4.3.
There are also upgrades and patches available on Adobe's site that need to be made to ALL the CS2 applications. I have downloaded these and will save them outside of my machine so I can update as soon as I reinstall CS2 on the reformatted drive.
Many sites I've gone to show numerous problems with the CS2 Suite (CS3, too), many due to different issues than mine.
I still welcome any feedback about this and if there's anything I've overlooked, please comment.
I hope someone can learn from my mistake. This takes a lot of time and research, and I guess I didn't expect it to be this troublesome! And I am still researching ...

Reinstall Photoshop Elements 6 after Hard Disk upgrade on MacBook

Hi
I am trying to reinstall Photoshop elements after upgrading HD on macbook 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. OS 10.5.8, 2.5 Gb Ram using SuperDuper 2.1. Tried running the transferred copy of P.E.6 --> hangs while trying to initialize menus
After searching forums for suggestions I have tried the following
1 use adobe installer to uninstall old copy of P.E.6
2 removed /library/Application Support/Adobe~
3. Use Apple Disk Utilities to repair permissions
Reinstalled new copy of P.E.6 (downloaded from Adobe.Com)
On starting P.E.6 - goes thru first set of initialization OK
then hangs while trying to initialize menus (spinning beachball)
Also installed on a Power Mac Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 (P.E.6 has not been installed before)
- P.E.6 works on this machine
any help greatly appreciated

Created a new user (admin)
uninstall and re-install PE6

does it check the serial number as I have another copy(using same serial number) running on PowerMac G5 (as a test) on the same network?

Cannot delete pages in Acrobat 9 Standard

We have several new computers we just installed and 7 new acrobat 9 standard discs with serial numbers. Installation went fine. We can create PDFs but when we try to edit, we cannot delete pages. Online help shows how to delete pages in Acrobat 9 Standard, but the Delete option is not available on the menus.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 9 Standard on one computer to see if a new install would fix the problem, but it did not. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

Please use the camera icon for uploading screen captures or other pictures, then we do not have to wait for the file to be approved. To try to help a bit let us get a bit more information. OS? Any plugins for Acrobat installed? Try this on a pdf that you create. Make sure no security is set for the pdf file.
