Hello,

When trying to use Acrobat Reader to view a PDF file a friend sent me,
I got a (very brief) popup that told me to install Image Viewer 5.

Okay.  I am trying to install Abode Image Viewer 5.
But instead of installing, it gives me an error message that reads:
     "A suitable version of Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader was not
found on this system.  The Image Viewer plugin requires Acrobat
version 5.0 or later.  The plugin will not be installed."

I have Acrobat Reader 6.0.6, running on WIndows 98SE.

How do I get Imageviewer installed?  Or, if I can't do that, what
should I install, to read PDFs that ask for Imageviewer?

Thank you very much.

Ted Shoemaker
