When trying to install the Reader on a laptop with WinXP, I got 99.9% through the installation when I got this error message:

"Driver Installation Failed. Could not find xxxx device for this driver"

I think you would agree that this is NOT a very useful message!

The error message appeared regardless of which version of the Reader I tried to install.

Where do I get the missing driver file?
