Problems w Adobe Reader 9.0

[Guest mdpeters149]

I just downloaded Reader 9.0 and it installed automatically. Now whenever I

start/restart the computer, it goes to the folder labelled c://program

files/adobe/acrobat.com and displays the contents of said folder. I looked

in the startup folder and there is nothing indicating that this should

happen. What gives? Should I uninstall/reinstall? Thanks

Adobe Reader 9 "Sneaks" two other apps into the install. Go to the

Control Panel, Add/Remove applet and uninstall

Adobe Air & Adobe.com

Have a look at an alternative reader http://www.pdfxviewer.com/

 

Freeware, fast and less memory use.

Manually remove Adobe Reader (8.x on Windows)

http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400769&sliceId=2

 

Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

Scroll down and download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility Package.

 

In XP go to Start, then Search and look for MSICuu2.exe. When the icon

shows up, run the program. After its done, you will get a list of files.

Click on Adobe and it will remove it.

 

Alternatively you can try:

Brute Force Uninstaller

and/or

Revo Uninstaller

Better alternatives to Adobe Reader are:

Foxit reader.

The free version can be obtained from URL:-

or

PDF XChange Viewer for free!
