I installed Pro 8 the other day, and now when I find a pdf file on the 
internet, Acrobat will not open the file. What's up with that?

I experienced the same thing, and found (a little late) that one should 
remove any other version of Adobe Reader before installing Ver. 8. Mine 
now locks up my computer completely and I have to go through the Windows 
Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) to get out of it .  Also, once you get into 
this mess you may not be able to delete it from your computer by using 
the "Add/Delete Programs" capability in the control panel, and running 
"System Restore" doesn't helpl!!

Do Google search for "remove adobe reader 8".

I don't feel competent to monkey with my register (which is required) so 
am avoiding .pfd files on the internet until I can get my computer to 
the "Geek Squad" to clean it up.

Sorry to bring the good news!
