Adobe Problem
I am having a problem with Adobe Acrobat on my systems at the office. We constantly are downloading PDF files from 100's of different web sites and about 100 times a day I get this error message on all of the systems at the office:
"The instruction at "0x2d828acd" referenced memory at "0x00000008". The memory could not be "read".
If I close Adobe out and refresh the web page the pdf file is displayed fine. I have tried technical support with Adobe but of course they say it is not there problem.
Any idea what could be causing this? Could I have a software conflict trying to access this memory slot? How do I figure this out?

Try testing your RAM, by either swapping in memory from a working machine, or running the diagnostic program at www.memtest.org for a few hours.

Callandor,
coudl it be possible that i have a RAM problem when I am having the exact same problem on 4 different machines? One of them is a server and one is a brand new system with brand new components. I know new does not mean that everything is perfect but it seems odd to think the memory on all 4 of the machines could be bad.

I missed that part - it is unusual for the same error to appear on 4 machines at the same time, so I would rule out hardware. Check if this problem is particular to a specific version of Acrobat by trying another version. I know that a certain version of Acrobat hung around in memory and caused problems on my desktop.
Have you checked the Event Viewer and looked for problems in that? Also do you have the latest Adobe and Patch?

Callandor,
i will try a previous version and see if that resolves this problem. the only problem with that is there are a number of features in the latest version that we are using that we need for our business. but at least that can tell me if it is product specific or if it is version specific.

It might be a problem with one of the Acrobat Plug-Ins. Move the plugins one at a time from the following folder:
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader\plug_in
to the following folder:
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader\Optiona
and see if the problem disappears.
If the problem turns out to be a plugins problem, moving them one at a time will enable you to identify which plugin is causing the problem.
Good Luck

ok so i just got off the phone with tech support from adobe and they have no clue what the problem is. they keep telling me that there must be another program on our systems trying to access this memory slot at the same time. is there any way to find out if two programs are trying to access the same memory slot? or is this just some crap that adobe comes up with when they don't know the answer?
what about microsoft tech support ?
any way ... i think you should format one of the machines
reinstall XP ,SP2 and adobe only but without the latest updates .
start even from version 6 if you can. if it's OK.
continue install the other programs one by one.
untils you get the error ...

I am having the identical issue:Acrobat.exe-app error 0x2d828acd referenced memory at "0x00000008". The memory could not be "read.
I have called Adobe and they said it is a RAM issue.
Any suggestions?

I just spoke w/ ADobe and came up with a psuedo-fix. In AA7.0.9, go to Edit/Preferences/Internet and uncheck box for Display PDF in Browser. Result is the open file and another blank window [which I just ignore].
