Jeffery Jones, Et Alii:

As every computer is different, and every user is different, what worked for you did NOT work for me.

I did just as you said, once again downloading Adobe Reader 8, then right clicking on "Properties", selecting "Compatibility", and checking "Windows XP (SP2)".

But, while Adobe Reader 8 will open ONCE in Windows Vista, and then ONLY at the conclusion of the installation process, if I close the Adobe Reader 8 program, it will NOT open again.

So, the only solution that worked for me was the same thing I've been doing.

I uninstalled Adobe Reader 8 and installed Adobe Reader 7.9, which must be used with the Mozilla Firefox browser, because Adobe Reader 7.9 conflicts with the Internet Explorer 7 browser.

Apparently, the Internet Explorer 7 browser will only work with Adobe Reader 8, because Adobe Reader 7.9 causes the browser to shut down.

In your post, you didn't specify if you were using Windows Vista or Windows XP.

I have upgraded my Windows XP Media Center Edition to Windows Vista, and that's why I'm having all these software compatibility issues.

Yes, I did run the evaluation program before installing Windows Vista, and no problems were indicated for Adobe Reader 8, which had been working perfectly before I upgraded.

Microsoft and/or Adobe need to coordinate their efforts to find a fix that will permit Windows Vista users to use the latest versions of Adobe Reader and Internet Explorer.

I wonder if anyone from Adobe or Microsoft reads these posts?

It would be nice if we could get a response.

Thank you.
