I am getting the message below. How do I fix this? ( I am not that computer literate so will need simple instructions!):

    Could you please try the steps given below:

    1- Download and run Cleaner tool from here: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

    2- Restart the computer.

    3- Download and install Reader DC from here: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution  (select your operating system, language, and version accordingly from the drop down option given on the download page)

    Hi jeffreyl47123360,

    Assuming you are able to access Acrobat Reader's options, could you please let me know the version of Reader installed on the machine?

    To check the version, launch Reader>click on Help menu>select About Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

    When you are getting this error- when launching Reader or when trying to open a pdf in Reader?

    Sorry – can’t launch Options. Message comes on and locks me out of everything!

    Managed to sort this out. Cleaner tool + download worked ok. Many thanks!

    Which version of the Cleaner Tool do I use – there seem to be several options?


    Glad to know that.

    Cheers!
