I can't get Acrobat Reader (i.e. Adobe Reader 9) to run ==> RuntimerError

[Guest ship]

Hi

 

Help!

I can't get Acrobat Reader to run.

 

I just uninstalled and then re-installed "Adobe Reader 9" in my

Windows XP (SP3) PC.

I have a roaming profile (which I hate but apparently I'm stuck with

it).

 

I cant get Adobe Reader to even open on its own without an error.

The error is:

 

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Rutime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an

unusual way.

Please contact [blah-blah]

 

- Should I re-install the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library?

(If so how the heck do I so that?!)

 

- Or should I download an earlier version of Adobe Acrobat?

 

- Or do I need to do open heart surgery on the registry

(I have NO idea how to do that stuff, btw)

 

 

Help!

 

With thanks

P.S. I do NOT have Adobe Acrobat installed on my PC.

The best place for support is Adobe Systems' website and user forums:

http://www.adobe.com/support/reader/ . You have to register to post in the

user forums.

Just in case anyone else is having this problem, be aware this is a known bug

in Adobe Reader OR Acrobat if your Application Data directory is redirected

to a UNC path via Group Policy (as is common when using Roaming Profiles):

http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5c482/33

 

Adobe haven't fixed it, and the only workaround is to assign the network

share a drive latter and redirect to the drive letter, or to use

Reader/Acrobat v.8.1.2 which does not have this bug.
