Here's more of the story. This is a friend's computer that I am
trying to help him with. I see now that the earlier version came from
copying files from his old computer. Here's what he said:

************************************************** **************************

It isn't Firefox, its my computer. I screwed up the version of Adobe
Acrobat reader 7.0 that came with it trying to install a plugin for
Firefox. It turned out to be what looked like the complete Acrobat
Reader, so I cancelled it.

From stuff that transferred from my old PC, my computer thinks there
is a Version 6.0 there. I can't remove it using the normal 'Remove
Programs' function. I have removed all the 6.0 and 7.0 Acrobat
directories and removed the entries for them in the register.

However, when I download Acrobat 7.0 and try to install it, I get a
popup window saying a feature I need to install is on a CD and asking
to put in the CD. I didn't get an Acrobat CD with my new machine. I
get the same message when I try to remove 6.0 using the 'Remove
Programs' function.

I've never had to do an uninstall to do an upgrade. It's asking?

I know, but in order to uninstall the one Dell put on, and install
7.0, it asks for a disk which we apparently don't have.

I doubt if it is on any of the disks. It is too easily available online

news On a late model Dell, which disk would contain the Adobe Reader that
comes pre-installed? The only thing I have that looks like it might
is labeled, "Dell Dimension and XPS ResourceCD." It also says,
"Drivers and Utilities." I have looked through the files, but many
are compressed and/or not identified. Don't see anything with Adobe
on it.
