tried to read a pdf file and when I clicked on it it did nothing. so I used the option of reading from a web program. I downloaded the 7.0.8 and it still did nothing when I clicked on it.
so it went to add/remove programs and noticed it had two copies of it installed. I tried to uninstall and get message that it cannot find a patch to open the program. I went into explorer and deleted the program, did a restart and still shows it is there twice.
I went to acrobat site and did a download and it re-installed the manager, and also the photo program but when it got to the reader it came up with a message saying it was stopping the install due to the program already exists!
What to do?
