Can't install Firefox, Adobe Reader, and Printer Drivers

[Guest Crayz]

I just installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit, and I can't get any program to

install. I've downloaded the Vista 64-bit versions of the following programs:

 

Firefox

Adobe Reader

 

When I try to install these programs, I get APPCRASH.exe errors. Can

someone help?

 

Quad Core 6600, 8800 GT, Vista Ultimate 64-bit, 2 GB RAM

 

Thanks.

Hi,

Strange, as there's no such thing as Adobe Reader for Vista 64-bit.

It is only 32-bit.

If you are having problems installing Adobe Reader then give Foxit Reader

2.2 a try.

Go to http://www.foxitsoftware.com and download the freeware reader.

It is lighter and faster than Adobe.

 

I can't tell you anything about Firefox because I use IE7.

The only thing I've been able to install is Adobe flash. Does anyone else

have ideas?

You must have to get 64bit print drivers for the 64bit spooler.

 

Where you attempting to load some print drivers or is this in conjunction

with the 32bit applications whose 32bit drivers will not function for x64

platform?

I have a Canon Pixma 780MP. It's a multifunction printer. I downloaded the

Vista 64-bit drivers from their website. It's still not working.

Can't print? Setup fails? Any error message? If you can print, I'll defer

to anyone else for scanning issues.

Re: Can't install Firefox, Adobe Reader, and Printer Drivers

 

It's not just the printer drivers. I can't run any executable in Vista

64-bit. I've even tried running in Administrator mode. I can run

installation drviers off a DVD ROM, but I can't run anything off a USB hard

drive or the HD itself.

It might help if you bothered to describe the symptoms, as has been

asked a couple of times. There's no detail in what you've posted to give

anyone a clue what your problem is. Is this a legit copy of Vista you

are running, and/or is it running in reduced functionality mode?
