I changed computers that now has Vista and can't figure out how to get Adobe Reader to work. I think I downloaded the free version correctly but I can't get it to work. Must I buy it again or is it possible to retreive it somehow? Thanks, Charlie

Still can't get Adobe Reader to work on my new Vista OS computer. I have tried to download the free version with no luck. I have turrned of the UAC and changed the compatibility setting; but I get messages telling me that the file is damaged and cannot be repaired. Does this mean that I must buy a new Adobe program? Or does any one have any new suggestions? I really need to download a form and it requires Adobe to do so. Thanks, Charlie

Hi CDEXTER,
This tutorial should help you.
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/72473-installing-program-error.html
Make sure that you are installing Adobe Reader 8.1.1 from the source:
Adobe - Adobe Reader Download - All versions
If you still have no luck, then you can try the free Foxit Reader program instead.

Adobe Reader Error Message
Lately, I've been getting an error message when I try to open a document with Adobe, "file is damaged and cannot be repaired." See attached. Any suggestions? I already tried uninstalling and downloading, and repairing the program, but the problem persists. Thanks.
