To Ken Chai:

Go to Adobe Downloads to get the Reader.
Make sure you like what it says about your OS. When I do this, it says
Download the latest version of Adobe Reader
Adobe Reader 9
(includes Acrobat.com on Adobe AIR)
Windows XP SP2 - SP3, English

This is where it gets tricky.
Click the large yellow Download Now button.
Cancel the download right away. I did this by clicking on the Window-exit button in the upper right corners of the two pages: the error message about "Can't retrieve" some stupid parameter, and the download window. Don't worry if you're slow with the clicking, but don't wait all day.

Your browser ought to be on a page that shows this:
Thank you. Your download will start automatically.
If it does not start, click here to download.

Click on the "click here".
Click on Save. I use Windows Explorer habitually, so I made a handy directory (folder) into which to save the downloaded file. Maybe you can save it to your desktop (which is in fact a directory).

Then do the double-click to execute.
