Windows XP: Adobe 7.0 Reader on winXP. Will not Re-open
Adobe 7.0 Reader on winXP. Will not Re-open
by 20fj6002 - 3/10/06 6:19 AMI have downloaded Adobe Reader 7.0 and installed it. After that initial installation it works fine but it will not re-open after closing. Task Manager shows that the CPU is processing AcroRd32.exe but nothing loads up.
End task AcroRd32, try again,

In search, type in Adobe files and folders. At the top is edit and select all to delete. That should clean out Adobe so you can reinstall it. Darrell
Watch out with registry

Even though Darrell is right about what he said, I would suggest just go under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> and delete the ADOBE folder AS LONG AS u don't have any other adobe software like photoshop or premiere. If you have other adobe softwares, then u wanna go under that adobe folder and delete just the reader.
Also make sure you have uninstalled the older version of adobe before using the newer one. It's always better to start out fresh new version than updating to it.
Also be aware

You downloaded a download manager that you have to unzip.
After that, open unzipped program and it will install from the web. Could be an uninstalled program. chuck
Yet another option
by WOODS-HICK - 3/11/06 3:40 PM In reply to: Also be aware by chuckieuI only needed a PDF reader so I deleted Adobe 7.0. It's a bit overweight.
I downloaded "FoxIt 1.3.0.104" (free) from CNET after reading the user reviews.
It read all my current files and only uses 2mb.
Anybody else use FoxIt? Like to hear: Pros and Cons.
Solved the problem.
by 20fj6002 - 3/17/06 2:06 AM In reply to: Adobe 7.0 Reader on winXP. Will not Re-open by 20fj6002Tried several reinstalls, had to use XP restore back to prior the first installation of Adobe 7. Then the installation worked well. I will bear in mind the Foxlt.1.3.0.104 reader (free from Cnet) should the problem return. Thanks for all the suggestions.
