Ron,

The unicows.dll problem seems to be a commonly reported problem with those
using Acrobat 6 and Win Me and other Win 9x systems. The problem seems to
be with Acrobat rather than the operating system. Many have given up and
returned to using Acrobat 5 which if nothing else means they are using a
lighter meaner version than the cumbersome v6. For myself I have never
bothered installing v6 on my Win Me boxes and have stuck with v5.05 on one
box and v5.1 on the other.

If you really want to use v6 I feel you are going to need to get help from
Adobe since, as I said, the problem is with their application.

I am getting this error message when trying to start the
Adobe Reader 6.0 program;
"Unable to load required component 'unicows.dll' "
I have used the reader before without a prob. so I am at a
loss as to what happened since I last used it.
I upgraded to the Adobe 6.0.2.. version when it (suddenly)
wouldn't open a PDF file, but that didn't help. Have also
uninstalled & re-installed 2X & have not found any
worthwhile help about "unicows.dll" at the Microsoft or
Adobe sites.
I found 3 unicows.dll files on my hard drive and moved the
newest of these files into windows/system, as well.
Any suggestions or fixes would be appreciated.
