I would uninstall the old 2.1 version and
then reboot, and start over again. There
are many places to get acrobat reader 5.0 on the net -----Original Message----- A download question from a guy who is just a
biologist. I'm running Acrobat Reader 2.1 on my Windows 98 Pentium III
Dell computer. Lately when I try to download pdf files from various
reputable websites (mostly government sites), the reader tries to open the
document, detects errors, and then crashes my computer. Really. So,
I thought, maybe I should update the reader. Therefore I went to
Adobe.com and tried to download the current version of the reader. When I did that, I got a message that said "The
plug in did not initialize properly" and I clicked
"OK." Then a second box popped up "Plug in was
found, but an error in the plug in has occurred." These two
messages toggle back and forth, and then my computer crashes again. Same
thing happened when I tried to download off the pdfzone website. I have not uninstalled the old 2.1 reader since it
still works sometimes. Do I have to uninstall it to download the new
version? Is there another way to deal with this
problem? cliff |
