Is this for the update to Adobe Acrobat or which application were you updating? Also which operating system are you using?

I had Adobe 5! Can you believe that? I don't know why I never got updates, but it quit working on me. So I went to the site and downloaded 10.1.3. I am using Windows XP.

You keep saying "Adobe", but what program?

Adobe Acrobat?
Adobe Reader? (Or, in version 5, Acrobat Reader?)

Did you purchase Adobe Acrobat or are you trying to install Adobe Reader 10? Do you receive any specific error messages when trying to install?

I didn't purchase Adobe Acrobat, it was on the machine when it was given to me. I tried to install Adobe 10 (don't know if it was reader, thought it was just an update of Acrobat) I don't remember any errors, just couldn't get it to "launch". When I download a PDF Adobe with open, and then I get an error message that says something to the affect that Adobe can't open this file, that something is missing. So I thought I needed an update. I used to be able to open PDF's, but all of the sudden it quit.

I hope this is enough info to help. Is there another program I can use for PDF's?

Use the Acrobat/Reader cleaner: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

Then re-install Reader.

I tried to download this cleaner, but it won't save and open. What is going on?

This is crazy?

Sorry, I don't understand this; what exactly happens when you try to download it - do you get an error message?

For the cleaner I went to the link, hit download it showed that it did download. But when I tried to find it to open it I couldn't. Before that I tried to open it from the download window and it wouldn't open.

Do I need to completely uninstall Adobe Acrobat and download Adobe 10.1.3 to start all over again. I really need to get somethings in PDF form and can't.

Thanks, Belle

Most browsers automatically download files into the Downloads folder under 'My Documents'; isn't it in there?

If you download other files are you able to locate them successfully? What if you try a different web browser? You may also want to try going to Start>Control Panels and select Add/Remove Programs. From there you can select to uninstall/remove Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat from there.

It still is not clear from this thread though if you are attempting to utilize Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat? You mentioned having Adobe Acrobat 5 but then discuss the 10.1.3 update. What do you have listed exactly in Add/Remove Programs?

I have mentioned several times that it is Adobe Acrobat. Is 10.1.3 Adobe Acrobat?

I went to add/remove programs and can't find Adobe there at all? I don't understand why if it isn't there, does it pop up when I download a PDF only to not be able to access it? This is all so confusing.

bmw1978 I have moved this discussion to the Acrobat Installation & Update Issues forum. Is it possible that you have used a registry cleaner and/or a system optimizer which could have removed the entry from your Add/Remove Programs Control Panel?
