Do you have any CDs that come with Computer magazines? Most of these have Adobe Reader on

Try running repair from Control/Panel>Add Remove Programs>Adobe Acrobat professional and then try the update.

have you uninstalled the versions you already have from control panal remove programs

you poss have ver 5 and or 6 installed as well as the latest version

uninstall all versions of the reader

then reboot

then download the full version from the website and install

dont tryand use anything you already have.

is this following a complete new install after removing all previous versions from control panel add/remove programs?

is there any indication of 'what' plugin its trying to find?

typically additional plugins are for interface with a specific printer/scanner or a program like microsoft office, these plugins come with the install discs of the like.

I know this may be obvious, but have you downloaded the correct version of Adobe for your O/S?

install missing plugins

Is this an Adobe install where they load a "Download Manager" into your web browser and then use that to install the software?

There is some help from Adobe here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/reader/

If you can find the FULL download it may be more reliable than the "Download Manager" method.

BTW - if what you are wanting is the latest "Acrobat Reader X" then (personally) I wouldn't bother.

Or use the free Foxit Reader http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ instead.

If you already have adobe reader installed , then all you have to do is open it and go in to the help section at the top of the box and press the updates, and wella , there you have it.

it says there is no updates
if it says that there is no updates then there isnt any , but you could delete reader then redownload it direct from the adobe site. sometimes things just stop working properly for no apparent reason.
