No, I didn't receive any Error 1406s. I did call Adobe Tech Support and she said she would have to charge me $39 to help me with this problem, and I elected not to pay it, so I wasn't able to get any information from them other than the fact that she said that if my computer doesn't meet the system requirements for Adobe 8.0, then my computer will have trouble running it. I mentioned to her that 8.0 apparently requires at least a Pentium III processor, and I don't think my processor is that good, and she thought that 8.0 will not run on my computer properly as a result of that, and suggested I drop to a lower version of Adobe Reader. I then contacted a computer security expert and asked him if it would pose a security problem for my computer if I downgraded to a lower version. He suggested that before I consider downgrading to a lower version, I disable the "Open PDF in browser" option in Adobe Reader, and so I did that and this seemed to work for me. More details about this can be found at the website for the Computer Emergency Response Center at www.cert.org and then doing a search for the term �Vulnerability Note 815960�. The instructions on how to disable the "Open PDF in browser" option are found in that vulnerability note. Please note that I�m only saying that what he suggested seems to have worked in my particular case, and I do not take any personal responsibility for any problems with anyone�s computer or any other problems that may arise if anyone else tries this. It appears that to be absolutely certain that this is a good solution, one would want to pay the money to talk to Adobe Tech Support.
