I have a problem with the way Acrobat Reader is working. I am pretty sure
it
is the way Explorer is configured or it is a Registry entry that isn't as
it
should be. If I am in the incorrect forum then please advise the correct
one.
I have Acrobat Reader 6 installed on the system. However there are some
Registry entries for Reader 5 as well.
Problem. If I click on a Acrobat Reader file on a web site, the file is
downloaded and the reader is opened but an error message comes up that the
file cannot be opened as a file is missing.
However,if I download the same file and save it, open the same version of
Reader and then locate the file from within the Reader, it opens OK. Any
ideas what the fault is. Thanks.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I have in fact tried to uninstall anything
Adobe Acrobat and found that after uninstalling via Add/Remove, there
appears to be a lot of unconnected files and folders left for different
editions of Adobe. I am at present deleting manually and then I will move
onto the Registry. It is also somewhat complicated by having four different
profiles/logins on the PC so I am having to go through all the profiles to
ensure everything is removed.
