I would advise, if you haven't already, updating to Adobe Reader 7.0 and
delete everything that does not pertain to 7.0 version. I did it, and have
not had any problems.

Thank you for the suggestion but do I Remove all Adobe files that are
presently in the Add/Remove Control Panel first or afterwards?

Bill, remove all the previous versions first. (Start at the bottom of the
list and work upward. It should not matter but I recently did this with all
the 6.xx stuff and also Reader 5.05 and 4.0 with no problems.) I note that
you have Adobe Acrobat 4.0 installed. To see if this is capable of working,
simply open Printers and Faxes in Control Panel. See if you have a printer
listed similar to "Adobe PDF" . If you do and you use this at all to modify
or create PDF files you may want to leave this one alone.
