I downloaded Reader 9 not long ago, and have been having problems similar to those other people have posted. I thought the problem had to do with two expired free trials (Acrobat and Photoshop), because when I would attempt to open a document, the registration page of Acrobat would appear, then vanish along with the document! I figured the problem would go away if I uninstalled the expired free trials. Not at all! Now, when I try to read PDFs on line, I get an error message saying "unknown file type," and I'm redirected to Microsoft's page for information about Adobe Reader...which is supposedly already on my computer. Did I accidentally delete some essential element when I got rid of the remnants of Acrobat and Photoshop?
Yikes! I wish I understood more about computers!
