PC Mech CD

Has anyone else had problems with Acrobat 6 Reader?

I tried installing off the PC Mech CD and all that happens is the comuter crashes. Not even the blue screen of death. I get a black screen. Is there a bad copy of Adobe on the disk or what? Talking to a friend - they couldn't get Acrobat reader 6 to install on their computer by downloading from the Adobe Web site.

thanks in advance.

I have the cd and it seems to work fine for me.

I just installed W2K on one of my boxes. Found out that Acrobat 6 won’t install unless you have service pack 4 installed. Downloaded it from web site. Just a thought.

Acrobat reader needs SP4 on win2k to run. Anything below that...you will either need to upgrade to SP4 or uninstall reader 6 and install 5.x

AR 6.0 installed fine for me - I have SP3.

Just got mine to work,I uninstalled microsoft windoes journal viewer,it poped up looking for that each time I ran adobe reader 6. after removing the journal viewer no more problems with my reader.

Seeing as you are running XP, there should be no reason why it should not work ;)

This is only a windows 2000 SP3 (or lower) issue.

It would not work until I removed the windows journal viewer,each time I tried it would try to launch the viewer and fail,I haven't tried to reinstall the viewer yet to see if it works properly then,however I really have no need for the viewer and will not reinstall it until a time a need arises.
