I think Adobe is in over their heads with AR. Consequently so are their users, which is why I stay as far away from them as I can. If you haven't already tried this, I would uninstall AR9 and then folklow up with Microsoft's uninstall clean-up utility. Then install Foxit and see if it will perform properly. But overriding everything is the difficulty of uninstalling AR - the Internet is full of people in different situations who have had to resort to different tricks to get rid of it, or just couldn't. If this piece of software were only marketed to, say, NASA or the medical profession, it would install, uninstall and work right, but since it's just the general public, then there's no problem in putting out a piece of crap and making changes on the fly. If Foxit still won't work, then based on a casual reading of what I came across, I'd revert to AR8. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
