I have a Dell with the Vista OS. It came with Adobe Reader 7.0. Just 
recently, when I click on a pdf file I get a Windows message saying that 
there is a known compatibility problem between that version of Reader and 
the OS. So, I found that there is a version 8.0 available.

The question is- must I first uninstall 7 first before installing 8??

Thanks,
Joe

Sorry to be flippant but it just might be quicker to do so than to
wait for a response here. FYI, I have installed 8.0 and never
uninstalled the previous version but I do not use Vista.

I first uninstalled 7, then installed 8 OK.
