I have a user experiencing the same problem. Opening the program itself (not by executing a pdf file) end up crashing Adobe immediately. Initiating Adobe Reader from a PDF file, it appears to crash during "Initializing DigSig(2).api". As other users have noted in other threads pertaining to this problem, Data Execution Prevention pops up a message basically telling the user that the program was blocked and to make an exception. When I try to do this for AcroRd32.exe, DEP complains that the program must run with DEP enabled and it cannot be turned off for this program. I've installed Foxit Reader as a temporary work-around, but we have a lot of industry-specific programs that rely heavily on Acrobat Reader and I fear it may have a much more far-reaching problem since Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 is dead-in-the-water. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Is Adobe/MS working on a solution?
Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 64-bit
Internet Explorer 7
Acrobat Reader 9.2.0.124
I've tried uninstalling, then reinstalling as normal and no joy. I downloaded the "lite" and stand-alone installer from the ftp site, still crashes Reader. The error as reported by the Event Viewer:
