If that doesn't do it, try: Windows Installer CleanUp Utility: http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html Did you download this because you needed an editor, or just a PDF viewer? If the latter, Adobe and Foxit work fine. If you are having problems opening pdf file attachments in Outlook Express, then you need to see this.

Do you still have this problem with Adobe 9 and downloading pdfs? I did but found a very simple and easy fix which has worked for me. I use IE8. In the Adobe menus choose Edit>Preferences>Internet and de-select (remove x)the box marked "Display pdf in browser". I did this in both programmes I have and it worked and I am now able to download pdfs straight without having to right click and "save target as" which I found very frustrating. It means that my pdfs open on the screen...as they did before I upgraded to 9. I hope that you had it re-solved before however this may help some other frustrated soul. Asterix Bill

Where are you trying to open them from? If e-mail, what e-mail program are you using? Can you open them if you save them to your HDD first? -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "JB" <open(a)closed.com> wrote in message news:ukHxdxz1KHA.2156(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > My problem is that I have Adobe Reader 9 up to date but cannot open pdf > files.
