Acrobat 6 and Unicows.dll

I have Win98 and I am trying to upgrade from Acrobat reader 5 to version 6.
I need this to use the PDF forms the IRS has on their web site (Acrobat 5
cannot save info added to forms).
I downloaded Acrobat 6 and it seemed to install OK, but when I try to open
it I get an error message that says: "Unable to load required component
'Unicows.dll.'"
I tried unistalling and reinstalling version 6 to no avail. I see that
unicows.dll (2002 version) is in the Acrobat reader folder, so I don't know
what else to do here.
I assume this is likely an Adobe problem, but there is no help on their
site.
Any help appreciated.

Adobe Acrobat is OS dependant, if you are running Win98 then you are
stuck with Ver 5, if you have Win98SE then you can run Ver 6 See

I do have Wind98 SE and ver 6 does not run. Just get the unicows error
message.

For anyone else having this problem, version 6.0 gave me the unicow.dll
missing error, and version 5.0 did not allow me to save the documents I
worked on (IRS forms). However, I upgraded to 5.1 and this version DOES
allow you to enter data and save the PDF file, so I have no need to upgrade
to 6.0.
