Windows 10: stop Windows from configuring adobe acrobat 8

New PC w/Win 10. Tried to install registered Photoshop CS3 - no luck. Finally called Adobe to remove it (it wouldn't 'uninstall'). After they ripped it out I was left with Acrobat Pro 8 in PC which I can't remove be any method. When Windows boots Adobe keeps trying to configure the program. I've deleted every file I can but still can't find THE one that stops Win from trying to configure/install.


I need some help. I've got Adobe Reader 10 nd it works OK. Thanks.

NVIDIA GPUs Accelerate Adobe Acrobat 8 and Adobe Reader 8

NVIDIA Corporation, today announced that the Adobe Acrobat 8 product family and Adobe Reader 8 now offer a new page display rendering mode, which uses the graphics processing unit (GPU) to accelerate the drawing and display of pages in PDF format. Building upon the recent performance improvements of Adobe Acrobat 8 and Adobe Reader 8, Adobe has leveraged the power and programmability of the GPU to further turbocharge the display of 2D content in PDF documents.


"NVIDIA GeForce and NVIDIA Quadro GPUs let users do more with PDF files, and faster," said Pam Deziel, director, platform product marketing, Adobe Systems Incorporated. "Panning, scrolling, zooming…Virtually every major function in Adobe Reader 8 that takes advantage of the GPU will receive a tangible boost in performance. Things people may have avoided in the past, such as deeply detailed zoomable maps, are now easily displayed."

“Adobe Reader boasts a distribution of over 500 million copies worldwide and Adobe Acrobat is used by leading enterprises to drive key document processes based on PDF. NVIDIA is turbocharging the experience of those users upgrading to Reader 8.0," John Vifian, content evangelist at NVIDIA, “Using a powerful GeForce 6, 7, or 8 Series GPU makes skimming through digitized documentation no different – and, in many cases, easier – than holding the real-world equivalent right before your eyes. GPU acceleration in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat represents a significant step forward in an increasingly paperless world."

Enabled only on modern, powerful GPUs, the feature “2D GPU ACCELERATION" enhances the interactivity of page display and allows fluid zooming and panning of complex documents. This results in a performance boost, as well as sharper, crisper display of text and imagery while zooming through rich, large documents. The ability of the GPU to display PDF files in such an interactive manner enables truly fluid handling of electronic documents, whether they be subway maps, architectural blueprints, trail maps, or lengthy catalogs and e-books.

The user chat interface is designed for web conferences, and should allow for multi-platform firewalled and encrypted chats. Adobe promises that this Acrobat will be very easy to use, and has a lot of potential for its customers. It should be available in November 2006 for between $100 and $450, depending on if you are upgrading and the version you are buying.

Adobe Acrobat DC has Stopped working

Hi

Have tried as you suggested but Adobe reader still not working with this latest build of Windows 10, I also ran the Adobe Acrobat Cleaner program and then reinstalled Acrobat Reader but still have the same problem.

The error message reads "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Has Stopped Working" and then underneath it reads "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, Windows will close the program and notify you is a solution is available".

I did take a picture of this error message but can find no place to attach it.

It has to be something to do with the latest build of Windows as it worked fine before this latest update.
