Hi,

I have installed installed acrobat reader 4.05 and some toshiba PDF
manuals on my fathers Toshiba 8100 laptop under Windows 98 SE, but
Acrobat Reader just "hangs". It is not possible to open a PDF file or
Acrobat reader itself.

The Acrobat splash screen appears, but when the plugin 'weblnk.api'
appears, Acrobat Reader stops (but it appears in my task list).

Moving all plugins to the optional directory does'nt work. I have tried
the Dutch version as well as the  English version nut nothing succeeds.

This is strange, because I have also installed Acrobat Reader on my
mothers Compaq Armada E500 laptop, also using Windows 98SE, without any
problems!

My questions:
- Is there any straight solution?
- Are there any technical documents, pages, etc. in which AR
installation problems have been documented
- Are there any lower versions (eg. AR 3) that does'nt have these
problems and can still be used to read older toshiba and compaq
documentation?

Thanks and best regards,

Hugo
