Greetings to everyone, Firstly, I must say I am running Windows Vista Home Basic and have Adobe Reader 8.1.2 installed. I too had been plagued with the message �Invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit�. I have cruised the internet for many months trying every remedy suggested but until today I could not get rid of the dreaded message that made Adobe Reader 8.1.2 inoperable. I am not 100% sure of just I what I have done today, but�Adobe Reader 8.1.2 is now working like a charm. My suggestion is to try this (remember, I am running Vista)�. In Control Panel/Programs and Features, uninstall Adobe Reader. Reboot. There will still be an Adobe Reader Folder (with many files) in C:/Program Files. Delete the Adobe Reader Folder. Then use whatever registry cleaner, disk cleaner programs you have to get rid of every reference to Adobe Reader files. (I ran (1) Windows Disk Cleanup; (2) Advanced Care Windows V2 Personal: (3) Registry Repair Pro and (4) CleanUp!) Reboot. Then do a search and make sure that there are no .api files left. If there are�delete them. Reboot. Then install Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Hopefully, all should be well in the world again. My fingers are XXX for you.
