There are several causes of acrord32 exe application error for windows XP users. Among the popular ones are invalid device drivers, hardware malfunction and invalid CMOS entries. The error message usually comes up on Windows startup when the operating system loads all the device drivers. The error can be very annoying, but don’t ignore it, because it can be the very first symptom of a huge computer problem.

A total check of device drivers can be done via Control Panel>System> Hardware> Device Manager. Reinstalling or updating device drivers can fix the error. If it doesn’t, and the device manager still shows an error on one of the devices, then the problem is in the hardware. You can try turning off the device if it’s not needed or often used. If this solves the problem after start-up, then have that malfunctioning device checked by a technician or its just time to replace it.
