I found the solution and will describe it in brief ... just in case someone else has a similar problem. The PDA has no RegEdit (like every Win-PC has) and so I had no chance to check the registry of my PDA for a "forgotten" V1.0 entry. I downloaded and installed the freeware "PHM RegEdit" on my PDA. "Find Adobe" showed me the orphaned entry "Adobe Reader V1.0". Entry deleted - PDA rebooted - Reader V2.0 installed - problem solved. What a pitty that the Adobe installer itself couldn't solve this problem. Enjoy your PDA, Michael "Michael T." <info@mt-hrz.de> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:4qmuf1Fns685U1@individual.net... > Hi, > I wanted to upgrade my Reader on FSC Pocket Loox (Pocket Win 2002) from > V1.0 to V2.0.
