Brian s Berry and Linus Nootens, Et Alii: I don't know if I can help or not, but I'll try. Did you read the earlier messages in this thread? Apparently there are incompatibility issues with Adobe Reader 8 in Windows Vista, and also a conflict with Adobe Reader 7.9 and Internet Explorer 7. The problem was solved by two things: First, remove Adobe Reader 8 from Windows Vista, and install Adobe Reader 7.9 This will permit you to open PDF documents that are stored in your computer. Second, use the Mozilla Firefox browser when you want to open a PDF document at a web site. If you try to use Internet Explorer 7, the Adobe Reader 7.9 will cause the Internet Explorer 7 browser to shut down. Adobe Reader 7.9 works normally with the Mozilla Firefox browser. I'm hoping the folks at Adobe and Microsoft will create a patch so Adobe Reader 8 will be compatible with Windows Vista, and/or Adobe Reader 7.9 will be compatible with Internet Explorer 7. Of course, keep in mind that every computer is different, and every user is different. So, what works for me might not be applicable in your case. If you go to the Microsoft web site and submit a bug report, within a day, a technician will call you, and help you by taking control of your computer from their location. If, due to Microsoft outsourcing to foreign countries, you have trouble understanding what the technician is saying, just politely tell them over and over that you simply can't understand what they're saying, and they will put someone else on the phone who speaks better English. At least, that was my own experience, and everything worked out satisfactorily. Thank you.
