Acrobat 9 crash in Windows 7

I have Windows 7 Ultimate installed and tried the Acrobat 9 Pro and Pro Extended trial editions in this environment. Shortly after I open Acrobat, the EULA pops up, I agree to it and the program closes itself unexpectedly. Tried repairing but continues the same. I´ve been searching for answers but cannot fix this; any clues ?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro Extended 9.2, Windows

You should only have to accept the EULA once during installation. Sounds like it's not getting accepted.
See if the following technical note helps [url=http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404960.php]Can't click Accept in Software License Agreement dialog box in Adobe Reader or Acrobat (8-9 on Windows)[/url].

I can accept EULA, it´s ok with that. The problem is after, a few seconds after accepting it once, Acrobat crashes.

You should only be prompted for the EULA during installation. Are you saying that you're prompted for this every time you open Acrobat? If so, it's not getting registered.

So, can you try the suggestions in the technical note that I posted? The first one is to press the Enter key to accept the Software License Agreement instead of using your mouse.

I am running windows 7 and have the same problem. When the eula pops up and I accept the program crashes or should I say disappears. acrotray.exe is still in the start menu

You might try setting the EULA manually in the registry (note this isn't supported by Adobe). Here is a technical note with more information:

Note that the location is a bit different in Acrobat 9
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0
