Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Seems to Open Immediately then Close

Report · Feb 29, 2016

I tried re-installing. It was part of Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection. Same thing happens after reinstallation. The OS on my computer is Windows 10 Home. My computer is very new.

I cannot open any of the pdf files on my computer. When I first got the computer, I think it worked for a limited time.

At some point in time I may have gotten this error message: Acrobat failed to connect to a dde server.
