I have looked at both you recommendations and they appear to be right on!! Unfortunately, I'm not sure that I am up to doing the manual removal of reader 8, but am going to study it and give it serious consideration. I don't want to get into something that going to cause me more problems than I already have. The Foxit reader looks great, and apparently has lots of followers, and I'm going to give it a shot. I used Adobe Reader with several of the Avery software programs (like printing business cards etc. and am wondering if I can make Foxit work with Avery. Hmmm. Anyway, thanks again for the response!! Big John
