We run Adobe Reader 6.0 from a CD successfully, even when a full version of Acrobat is installed on the machine. Our autorun.inf looks simply like this: OPEN=Adobe\Reader\acrord32.exe myfile.pdf As someone else said, the installed version cannot be running or this doesn't work. So you say, yes I've heard all of this. The reason that I'm posting is that what you described below about the prompt for configuring the browser and such caught my attention. During my testing, I saw this when I copied the entire contents of the CD to the hard drive (thinking a user might do that to speed things up) and tried to use the Reader from that file. It was fairly ugly, but I do recall prompts about configuring the browser. I'm not sure that this will help, but sounds like whatever Reader is trying to run on your system is perhaps not the one that is properly installed on your hard drive.

When we autorun our CD's, the Reader 5.0 version on the disk runs, not the Reader (6.0) version on the hard drive. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 9:36 AM Subject: [PDF] Is it really true that Acrobat Reader.... > > The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com > __________________________________________________________________ > > Is it really true that...
