Vista and pdf files

Got my wife a new Vista laptop. All was going great untill she tried to view a pdf file and couldn't. She downloaded Acrobat 8, but that didn't solve the problem. Apparently Acrobat 8 doesn't work in Vista yet. From what I've been able to determine. Has anyone else had this problem?

On a related note I now don't seem to be able to unistall Acrobat 8, so any suggestions on how to do that would be appreciated.

I'll give that a try thanks.

how do you like your vista, generally speaking any issues or things of that sort? just curious

It has been really solid for me. Much more so than any other OS I've worked. That's not counting hpux or solaris - Windows still doesn't have the up-time under its belt yet (and as I was just writing this... reflectionx just went south - probably a vpn issue). There was a little 'getting used to' time involved with Vista because it was just a bit different from XP.

The security thing has never bothered me because I'm actually very comfortable with it (now if I could just devise a ! or sudo icon). I just downloaded the x64 vim binaries but haven't tried them yet...

I had targeted all of my hardware purchases to run Vista in a robust sort of way and I also had all of the 64-bit drivers in-hand before I my first install (hint: end-end planning is the only thing you need to do). Ahha - my vpn client just connected again - gotta kill 4 or 5 zombies and a BUNCH of ptys... back to wrok.

So, no problems - I like Vista.

Later.

I have a similiar problem with vista. It wont open many (not all some actually do open ) of my pdf files. This hampers me in terms of work and etc and i really need to get this problem sorted out. Any luck or tips you used for yours?
