Adobe 7.0 wasn't booting up, would just hang and never open. So I uninstalled 7, and the adobe download manager. Tried saving and running the .exe file for adobe 8, but I get this error message when trying to install.

"this file does not have a program associated with it. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."

i'm running windows xp on a dell 6000 inspiron, with 512 mb of ram
