Or do his computer a favour and install Foxit PDF Reader instead, much
smaller footprint and works equally well if not better g

| Anyone helps?

| Thanks

Adobe Reader v6.01 isw old, and is *very* vulnerable. Those
vulnerabilities are actively
being exploited in the wild !

Chances are the PDF is a greater version than v6.x can handle.

You *need* to upgrade to both a new OS and Adobe Reader v9.0
