TOPIC: Adobe Reader trouble

Well........ I have been using Adobe reader 5 for a long time.

Last time I opened a PDF document I got a popup asking to upgrade to Adobe reader 9.

Like an idiot I clicked ok..................  After the download and install was completed none of my previous PDF files would open

Didn't know what to do ....so I did a system restore and the old files opend ok....however now I can't open new PDF files, like something posted on the message boards.  System freezes and the only way to get thawed out is to do the Control Alt Delete thing.

Using XP pro

Anyone got any  ideas?

Cheers

With XP Pro there's no reason you cant use acrobat 9. Try uninstalling 5 via add/remove programs, reboot and then install 9.

Thanks Dom I'll give it a try

That will work to I guess I was going to suggest uninstalling 9 and re installing 5...which you still might try if 9 still doesn't work

I tried Dom's suggestion ???

It worked !!!

Dom U da man!!!!!!!!

Cheers

No problem
