Adobe reader will not open pdf files in Internet Explorer.

Also when I now go to the Adobe website the computer seizes.

When I try to load adobe reader 9 I get this message

Adobe reader 9 Installer Information
Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate.

What is happening Please help.

Hi,
Try enabling "Adobe PDF Link Helper" Add-on and see whether that helps.
Tools-> Manage Add-ons

No, I use Adobe Reader with no issues. You will be fine with Foxit but if you really want Adobe, you can remove it completely and re-install and see. I don't find much difference between them.

I did delete the older version after I got this message.
It did not seem to make any difference.

Normally for upgrades I do not have to delete older versions. ???

With the current version, Reader 9.1, you update via Reader - Help - check for updates.
Just a thought did you install the Google tool bar when you installed Reader? [This may cause glitches.]

Hi, JMH

Yes I did install Google tool bar.

I now have only the foxit toolbar.

It doesn`t seem to have made a difference, although now I know I really do have
" a more functional product installed" ie Foxit . Maybe now that is what Adobe detects??

Unless I have difficulties with Foxit I`m comfortable using this reader, so thanks to everyone who took the trouble to read my post and think of a possible solution.
