I have a windows XP Home.... installed and uninstalled Adobe(ver 7.08) twice but whenever I double click on a pdf or try to open one directly from a document I get an error window which says " Adobe Reader needs to be installed to view this document.Do you want to install it now?" It is frustrating..what I have to do is save the pdf to the desktop then literally dragging it on to the Adobe Icon also on my desktop...
any suggestions?
thnx
