Dear All,

After installing "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC" on Windows 7 Enterprise N, I am getting error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click ok to close the application" whenever I open any application or office document or any other text file. The behavior is strange, e.g. if I open a text file, I get the above error, then I click OK, and again I click the text file, it works. now I can open different text files and error will not appear. As soon as I try to open any other file like excel, error appears again and after clicking ok, I can open the excel file and keep opening many other excel files without any error.

Error disappears when I uninstall the acrobat reader DC.

Any one has experienced this?

Regards

that's a window's error.  you can google it.

start with updating/repairing your visual c++ versions.

This is windows error but it is appearing after the installation of adobe acrobat reader. If I install Adobe Acrobat, the error disappears.
