Abode Reader 8

[Sychman]

Hello

I am running XP home with I.E.. I have recently down loaded Abode Reader 8
which I cannot use. When I have attempted to open a document from a website
I am presented with the following message: Abode PDF Document. (Exclamation
mark in yellow triangle) There is a problem with Abode Acrobat/ Reader.
Please exit Abode Acrobat/Reader and try again. I have tried to open PDF
documents that I have saved in My Documents but no dialog box appears here,
these will just do not open. I have tried to open Abode reader via the
desktop shortcut but it will not do so. Abode Reader 8 appears to be present
in C:\ProgramFiles\ABODE\Reader.0\Reader. So I can find it in "My Computer"
no problem. It is also present in Add/Remove Programs. However when I go to
"all programs" Abode is EMPTY as is the shortcut. Incidentally, trying to do
anything with Abode Reader usually ends up with me facing a black screen
with absolutely no response from anything apart from the reset button.

I have run Defender, AVG, and Spy Catcher which all say that everything is
fine. I have also run Disk Clean Up and Defragmenter. IE7 has updated all
this has happened within the last 24 hours.

I'm a bit stuck here, can anyone please help?

Kind regards



Sychman.

I just upgraded from 7 to 8

The installer automatically removed the previous version...

However you need to reboot your machine after the install

Uninstall all versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader, reboot the computer,
and then reinstall the latest version.

*Abode* Reader might be a good product to use with XP *Home*, but in
this case, the company's name is "Adobe," not "Abode."

You seem to have a screwed-up installation. I would just uninstall it
(along with any older versions if present) and reinstall it.

Same for me. No prob at all. But uninstall and
clean install is basically a sound idea.
