I can't read .pdf downloads anymore
What do you think happened? I went to Adobe.com and downloaded the 6.0 after all of a sudden I couldn't read the files and it downloaded hardly anything. Like a couple of shortcuts and something that took all of 10 seconds on DSL.
What can I do to get my Adobe Acrobat back? |

Use system restore to go back to an earlier date.

Use this link for Windows version Adobe Reader 6.0.1, basic version & save to you HD.
Then run the exe. Looks like there's a 6.02 version but you need 6.01 first. Ian

right click on a file on your system and select open with other.... make sure that the checkmark is checked for the " always open with " , that may do the trick..

*completely* remove all traces of the existing Acrobat... Do it in add/remove, then on the file level, reboot, then download and install the full installer executable. Be sure to have all browsers closed when you do the install - otherwise you may have problems with the plug-in portion of it.
Of course at this point I like to mention that real operating systems have built in PDF support or it can be installed by doing "apt-get install acroread acroread-plugin", and updated with the occasional "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade"... 8)

Thanks a million guys. I used both Ian's and id10t's suggestions (combined) and I'm back in business. Damn computers. One day it works and the next day it doesn't.
I don't know, I might have removed a shared file, but I'm pretty careful about removing files. Thanks again. Now, can you fix my car?

id10t is right.
You have to delete old versions of Reader. Otherwise it lays there like a lump. My ver 4 was what IE used by default but I also had ver 6 loaded. I got rid of it 2 days ago . . . computers & cars, there's always something . . . Oh yeah id10t, I got the Mac dig . . . well, you know . . . Ian
