To James Sauvage re your #26 message: I have a similar odd problem. I have Windows XP Home SP3 which runs great. I've been using Reader 7 and want to move up to Reader 9. I've uninstalled Reader 7 (using every method possible) and when I try and download Reader 9 from the Adobe site it acts like it's going to download the installer through Nosso but it doesn't. When I click on the download link through the Adobe site, it downloads and extracts to 99% and then for some reason, the installer for my graphics driver kicks in. Needless to say, I cancel this operation because my graphics driver works fine and I don't want my install of Reader 9 to mess it up my graphics driver (ATI Radeon 1300XPro). Then after a few moments, Reader 9 acts like it's installed, but it's not. Can't find it anywhere in my system and when I try and open a pdf file from last week, it can't find the Reader. So I re-install Reader 7 without a problem. If I try to re-install Reader 9, the same thing happens all over again. WHAT GIVES!!
