Hello,
IF I had any hair I'd tear it out. I have tried to get Adobe Reader X to install fully on my new Windows 7 setup.
I have uninstalled and re-installed more than once.
I have used a utility to take ownership of all the files I can find. Despite this, I can only get the program to open in a way that I have to explicitly ask for the file I want to read. And every time I run it, it asks for permission to update.
I can't get it to set Adobe as the default for pdf files. The Adobe program does not appear in the list of available programs to be associated. If I go in through browse and select acrord32.exe as the program, it ignores me - does absolutely nothing.
I have been liking Windows 7 in other ways, but this ownership
and security process is complete bollocks - seems like a clumsy way to address the various security vulnerabilities.
I am not daring to install some other programs until I understand how this process works reliably. Any help much appreciated
