WinXP Acrobat 8 freeze after installation

Hello,
i installed Acrobat 8.1.0 on a AMD Dual Core System with XP SP2.
With all Windows, Adobe Updates and OfficeXP.
After double click on the Icon, the acrobat starts up.
but freeze after 3-5 sec.
I've installed from CD and Harddisk (Acrobat KB*).
Even a new installation, only with Mainboard drivers and without
any Update or without Office, the Acrobat freeze.
The System self is operation normal. A Kill with the Task-Manager is
possible.
My System:
AMD Dual Core 4450e / ASUS M3N Mainboard / 2GB RAM
Windows XP VOL with included SP2
OfficeXP or Office 2003
Has anybody an idea?
Thanks
Matthias
PS: Sorry for my damning english.

Hallo J.R.,
sorry, that i answer so late. The Problem is actual.
Yes i deleted all files in the Temp-Dir,
before i installed / run Acrobat.
I run the System with minimal Services and auto/manual
started Flexnet service.
The System freeze again. I start Regmon and Filemon from MS,
i found some buffer overflows, but there are no
abnormal exceptions.
Is there any chance to aktivate a Logmode or to deaktivate some
features before i start Acrobat?
Thanks
Matthias

System freezes after installation of version 11.5.502.149

WindowsXp, Firefox, Flash player 11.5.502.149 - I have made 2 attempts to load latest version; both times when I have restarted my system Windows will only load to Wallpaper and then stops- I waited for atleast 30 minutes - no program icons, no taskbar etc, Have used safe mode to uninstall flash player, did registry fix, have used system restore, still will not load. Did chkdsk - no apparent disk problems - but then after attempting to restart several times after long wait finally loaded. System will now restart, but as this happened after installation of flash player 2x I am unwilling to retry. - and now can not reload older version of flashplayer. - have recently installed other program updates and have not had system freeze so do not think it is a general installation problem. Any ideas?
Thanks

Pat
Trying to install an older version I got a message something to the effect that a newer version is available and program does not install. By hunting around the support areas on Adobe I did find a page that noted that if for some reason the new version did not work an older version was archived and a link.. so I did find an older version that would load.. of course I had to find a Zip program to unzip the file and it did try the same message ... there were 2 unzipped versions - only one worked but I do now have a working version albeit of Flash Player.
I googled for WindowsXp freezing and found a number of bulletin boards/forums that discussed solutions - which were pretty much what I did. Typically it happened after installing a new or updated program. No reasons were mentioned as to why or what was happening and the solutions of starting in safe mode, uninstalling, restoring, chkdsk are all sort of hit and miss... if one doesn't work try another... with the final solution being reload windows.. of course my version came installed and I don't have a backup disk so I imagine that would be another day or two of total frustration... so I guess I will avoid trying to update the flash player as long as possible. I have my system set up to only allow updates I have confirmed.
Thanks for your prompt response.

Dear all,

Does anyone have the same situation or have any idea to solve this

P.S. If you shut down your computer, the window should have disappeared. Why didn't you use Force Quit?

My iMac freezes after installation of Mavericks

My iMac set. with the new Mavericks has started freezing, or going into sleep mode, and will not wake up. I have to hold the power button in for about ten seconds to force it to close down, wait a few seconds, the press power button again and it will boot normally.
It will sometimes just freeze the screen, and other times go to a blank screen. Nothing will wake it up.
<Personal Information Edited by Host>

I have had consistent freezes after my MBP (15 in 2.4/2.2 GHz) goes to sleep since I installed Mavericks. When it's frozen, the fan is going hard, but nothing will wake it up -- not mouse motion, key presses (including "force quit" chord), closing and opening lid, etc. I have to force a shutdown with the power button, and restart it.
The only thing I've found to prevent the freeze is to prevent going to sleep. There's nothing that I recognize as suspicious in the console log. I've reinstalled Mavericks, I've fixed permissions, I've repaired the hard drive, I've removed plugins. I don't know what else to try. So I'm looking for suggestions, please!

Windows XP SP3 Freezes After Installation of Nvidia Quadro FX3000

Greetings to all! I have an older Dell running Windows XP SP3. It had an Nvidia Quadro FX1000 which began going bad and I replaced with a Quadro FX3000 model. The drivers I downloaded from Nvidia's web site were the most recent qualified
drivers (yep, they were old, but still the correct drivers). After of the installation of the card and the drivers Windows boots normally to the logon screen. After typing in my password Windows tells me its loading my personal settings, then freezes
with no further activity. I'm unable to use the mouse at that point and can't shut down gracefully.
I can boot successfully into Windows via Safe Mode and log on using my password. However, the system always hangs after logging on when I just boot straight into Windows without using safe mode.
Can anyone weigh in with a possible reason for this to occur. It's driving me crazy. I'm sure the answer is right in front of me, I'm just not seeing it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
I know its almost a month since you posted, but I would boot in to safe mode, remove the display drivers and install an older version of the driver. For instance the driver that was released before the latest one.
This has done the trick for me a few times with other hardware!
Best regards

Setup Assistant Freezes after installation.. cannot complete setup

Hi - I recently installed an Apple DVD RAM drive in my 450Mhz B&W G3. As far as I know it meets the system requirements - it has 640MB RAM and built in firewire.
Anyway, I was upgrading from OS 10.2.8 and I kept getting an error. So I ran the disk utility and sure enough, there was an error - and one that it couldn't fix. So I backed up all my files and decided to clean install, and it worked perfectly.
Installation had no problems, and it got completely through to the setup assistant. Except, now it got to the "select keyboard language: English, Canadian or "view all languages" - when I select English and click "continue" it freezes. Sometimes I get the spinning colorful wheel, and othertimes, it just stays frozen. After about 10 minutes, it comes back to where I can click "continue again" When I do, the continue button goes grey and it just sits there idling again.
Anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it? Thanks!
Tim

never mind, it simply needed more time - I left it for a few hours and came back and it finally made it to the next screen! Weird.

Explorer and Computer freezes after installation of Creative Cloud

First I had a hard time installing the programs, because the downloads always froze and I had to do it over and over. From the first start of the adobe application manager my computer were stopping, froze in and did not shut down anymore. And I have trouble using the internet, because my explorer is freezing all the time, too. Than I have to restart the whole system, until it freezes again. And the Computer as always been resetted the hard way, what brings up the Windows "the computer did not shut down..." screen and is really anoying.
System HP with 10 Gigs Memory, Intel I7 quad processor, 3600 mhz, Windows 7, NVIDIA 620

No issus with Win 7 before, no error messages. The computer starts normal, stays normal, as long as I do not use one of the Adobe products. I can start all programs, work with the programs, go into the internet, shut it down normal. As soon as I work with a application from adobe, I can use the programs, work with them , but as soon, as I try to go to the internet, i get no connection. Shutting down does not work, the computer freezes on the "shutting down" screen. Disconect power, start again, I can find no other reason than the Adobe Application manager, but creative cloud needs this thing on to work. As long as this thing is not in use, every thing is normal. I was trying ti re-install , but it did not change. The manager also keeps to "forget" my Adobe ID and is asking for it over and over.

I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.

I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation. I will post my computer's 'specs' below. I installed Lion, from Snow Leopard, through the App store. The first week, it worked like a dream, and was loving my brand new computer, or so it seemed. I then began to run into problems, and I can't confirm this 100%, but I believe it was after I updated from 10.7.1, to 10.7.2.
The freezes are sporatic at best, and cannot be narrowed down to one app. I googled the issue about two weeks ago, and found a fix involving a temporary log-in, verifying the disk, restarting the computer holding CMD+R, and repairing the disk from there. That fixed the problem. For about three or four days. From there I brought my laptop to Best Buy, where I purchased the computer (start the groans, my dad wanted the accidental damage, and he was paying, there was no argument). My warranty there was still good, but all they were offering was to check my hard-drive, and possibly ship it out. That would not be good for me, as I am a High School student, who works online.
So I then decided to go to the Apple store, see what they said. They said a bunch of people had this problem, it would cost a lot to fix, as I would need a new Logic Board. This did not make any sense to me, as I knew it was Lion's fault, so why would they not make the L-2009MBP Logic Board compatible, and why are only a few people having this problem, well a lot more than a few, but I mean not everyone.
So I asked a friend about it, and we decided to run a back up, and erase the computer, and re-install Lion. Figuring maybe my data was corrupted during install. This helped for a day or two, and happened again. So this time, we backed up only files (music, pics, documents, etc.,) and did a fresh install. I got my computer back last night. Now, I am not saying that didn't help. Previously I would have frozen about 18 times well writing this, but I have not frozen once (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself). I have gone from about one freeze every 10-15 minutes (sometimes worse), to about one every 1-3 hours. Which, let's be honest is still a lot.
So, before I just decide to go and revert to Snow Leopard on my merry way, I ask, do any of you have any other ideas? Or guarenteed fixes? I know a guarentee is a hard thing to ask for, but I am desperate, my teachers are getting angry with me for not sending work, and I know this would help a lot of people. Thank you to those who read through my whole spiel, and thank you to those who will help me!
[Ps, while I am somewhat of a noob, I know my way around a computer, so any help, or knowledge you could bestow upon me is awesome. Especially DIY fixes. (if your only advice is, don't buy a mac at Best Buy, don't bother commenting)]
Macbook Pro
15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Software: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)

Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

Can't open Acrobat 9 Pro or Distiller after installation

All seemed fine:
Installation by Drag and Drop, done
Entering the Product key, Done
Entering Registration Informations, Done
But since that Acrobat 9 Pro does nothing. I only see the "buisy" mouse pointer, which is the turning watch, but Acrobat does not respond anymore, but takes about 60% of CPU.
In Finder I get the information message, that the programm does not respond anymore, so I only can kill that process...
Same with Adobe Distiller....
Any guess? THX
MacBook Black, 2,1 GHz, 2GB Ram and runnig Mac OS 10.5.6

Well,
it wasn't a permission, it wasn't administrator... it simply was the company proxy server.
After installation, Acrobat allways wants to send the registration form by HTTP to Adobe.
Now the problem is, that our Proxy needs an authentification. Acrobat uses the entry in the keychain, but still cannont connect the port of Adobe, because this port ssems to be shut by our company system.
So I disabled all network ports on the system preferences, and restarted acrobat again. Now Adobe claims, that it is unable to send the registration, because of missing an active internet connection and want's a user choice, for send now, send later or cancel. I choosed send later and acrobat start up without any problems later.
Now I was going to the help menue, and disabled the automatical update process and automatical registration process.
Now Acrobat runs like a charm....

Acrobat Reader 9.1.x freezes after startup

Hello,
Our Acrobat Reader is having problems on some machines during startup that it completly freezes after startup.
I've traced this with procmon and have seens that a certain file "sharedEvents" is trying to to somthing buth it is hanging on
lock - unlock. Killing All process of Acrobat Reader and deleting this file and then re-starting the program isn't helping because it keeps 0 kb and the mentioned behaviour is trying to do something with this file.
the file can be found in %appdata%\adobe\acrobat\9.0
Our profile's is redirected , it is working for most of the users but some users are having this problem.
Can anybody tell me what Acrobat Reader is doing with this file and is there a work around to initialize everything back again so the
user can startup the program normally so it is not freezing after startup without having to remove and install it back again ?
Best regards,
Bert

Hi,
The problem I'm having is a problem on the journal file. After some more investigating it look that the problem can be related to oplocks since we have enbaled oplocks on our server (were the file is placed trough folder redirection). We will check this ...
I've already disabled oplocks on client side and then everything is working however we are using Vista in combination with offline files and if you disbale oplocks then offline files will not work so we are looking a bith further to see what we can do on server side ... to be continued ...
Best regards,
Bert

Windows 7, 32 bit freezes at startup after installation with bootcamp

Hey.
I really hope anyone can help. I have just recieved my new Macbook Pro and I would like to install windows 7 on it. Using the guide to Bootcamp everything went well and I got in to windows. But after installation of the needed drivers from the Leopard CD I needed to restart and now I cant do anything (it freezes after typing my password or sometimes even before) - I have to shut it down.
Everything is fully updated (Mac OS X 10.6.3).
I have tried to remove Windows again and installed it once again, this time i got into Windows, but I then had the same error after updating windows - even without using the Leopard update files.
Anyone know what to do?

have one more question for you...
In another environment, where everything went fine, i see green diagnostic report.
while starting admin server it gives me
\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip was unexpected at this time.
C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem>so still it is not installed completely!!

Media encoder freezes after 4.2 update installation

Hey guys,
I´m in a middle of a huge project and I updated premiere and media encoder to a new 4.2 version. After that I can´t get anything out of premiere cause every time I try to export media encoder totally freezes after couple of seconds after I´ve pushed start queue. I can´t do nothing but to force to quit. It happens while it is still loading the project and haven´t started to encode yet. What´s the problem here?
I´m on mac pro 8-core and cs4 master collection

How long did you wait before force quitting? If it was only a minute or two, try longer.
If that doesn't work, then remove all of the old queue items from the AME.
Then save your Pr project, and clean the media cache database from Edit | Preferences.
Reboot and try again.
If all of that fails, then trash your Pr and AME preferences and try again.
