Default OT--Adobe Reader Updates -- necessary??

Mel,

One possibility to clean up this anomaly would be to uninstall Acrobat Reader
7.08, then install it again... Ben Myers

Here's what happens, and this has happened with a few updates.

I start the process. During installation, it tells me it can't install until
I close the open version of Adobe (7.07 in this case). But there is no open
version. Even with ctrl/alt/del there is no open version running. I press
Continue and I get the same message. I wait awhile, press Continue again,
and it finishes installation.

I can't figure out why it does that.

But eventually it does install.

As stated, I am pleased with the new version, 7.08.

I assume nobody else has this balky installation.

I'm curious as to what "it was still balky" means? Other than the time it
takes to download and install, I'm not aware of any problems since I first
installed V7...

OK-- did the update. It still was balky, but I got it done and you are
right. There does seem to be a smoother transition between pages. Much
improved.

Hi Journey:

I just remember having a problem or two with previous upgrades.

Anyone know if it is advisable to upgrade??

(It is always such a pain and I'm not sure if it is necessary with
Adobe)

Why is it a pain? I'd just upgrade.

I recently updated both of my computers with the new Adobe updates and
thus far haven't had any problems. However, I haven't ever had a problem
with any of their updates as far as that goes. I don't recall exactly
what update created this feature but you can now scroll smoothly between
pages whereas before Adobe would cause a break between pages. In other
words you were not able to see the bottom of page 3 and the top of page
4 at the same time; now you can.
