It appears that many people are experiencing problems with Windows 7 64bit.

I myself am running that and cant even install Acrobat 9, it hangs on creating PDF printer.

I've been using Adobe Acrobat 9.0.0 on Windows 7 for around two months now and so far haven't run into any major problems. The only problem I've encountered is when clicking on links to PDF files on the web -- basically a lot of people, myself included, are not able to view PDFs in the major browsers. I've tried Internet Explorer 8, Google Chrome and Firefox.

For for feedback from people who have tried installing Acrobat 9 on Windows 7 see the comments through in this blog post.

All in all, I don't think there's any issues that should really stop you from going ahead with the upgrade, just a couple of minor annoyances.

I've got another issue. A user just upgraded to Windows 7 Professional and installed Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.2 then upgraded it to 9.3. Now, if she tries to double click ANY PDF to open it, or right-click and choose Adobe Acrobat Professional, it opens Adobe Acrobat, but gives an error that it cannot open the file. However, if she opens Adobe Acrobat and then opens the file from there, it opens without error. This behavior occurs on items she has just created as well as items from other users. Adobe's support line has not been at all helpful and the user does not want to uninstall and reinstall. Has anyone else seen this behavior or have a fix for it?

Currently we are having the same difficulties. I removed Reader and associated PDF’s with Acrobat in Windows 7, that worked for a while. The problem is returning. If the document is copied onto the computer and opened through Acrobat, or by double clicking, the document opens fine. I was wondering if the problem was IE 8, but Firefox has similar problems.

Windows 7 allows us to create a Windows password reset disk (USB key) in case that we lost the Win 7 logon password. When we lose the password of Win 7, we can reset a new one with the created disk. The weak point is that you can only create the disk before losing your Windows 7 password. If you do not create that, it could not help.

If you have an available administrator account on your system, you can get your password back easily. Logon Win 7 system with the admin account, and then you can come to the Control Panel and change or delete other accounts' passwords. Just three steps:

Step 1: Click Start -> Control Panel -> Add or remove user accounts

Step 2: Choose the locked administrator account

Step 3: Click Change the password or Remove the password. And then you can change or remove the lost or forgotten password

If you do not have another available administrator account, you could try some third party software. There is plenty of third party software for password recovery on Windows 7 online. all of them are designed to create a Windows password recovery disk. With the disk you can recover your lost Windows 7 password. I highly recommend Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 and use it as an example. What you need to do is just three steps (you need another computer to create the disk):

Step 1: Download Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0

Step 2: Burn a Windows password recovery disk with the software

Step 3: Recover the Windows 7 password with the disk

I think the most efficient is using third party windows password recovery software. Have a try.
