I've tried twice to download the upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 (I think that's the version) Both times it starts and then I get an error message and that it has to shut down. Joy P.

I can look into that other one if this won't work. ================================= I think what you were doing was installing from the net...I'm suggesting that you download the complete file to your hard drive (desktop for example) and install from there. SignatureJohn Inzer Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk I just tried again, and (1) it doesn't give me a choice as to where I want it to download to (i.e. desktop), and (2), it's also trying to download some photoshop something that I don't want. This is right from the Adobe website. >> Thanks. I thought I was downloading to the hard drive. Maybe I was >> mistaken. I can look into that other one if this won't work.

On the install screen you can uncheck the content you do not wish to install.

I'll try that tomorrow. >> I just tried again, and (1) it doesn't give me a choice as to where I >> want it to download to (i.e. desktop), and (2), it's also trying to [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > On the install screen you can uncheck the > content you do not wish to install. John, Thanks again. I was finally able using Softpedia to download it to my Desktop. I tried to run it later, but it seemed to be taking too long, and it's late, so I'll have to try again another time. I didn't see an option on what content to install, but on the other hand, it only seemed to be the Reader, not the photoshop.

I hope it installs successfully for you. SignatureJohn Inzer Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk I've been trying to install it, and it's been sitting at 6.4% for a couple of hours. Seems like I'm destined not to have it. What is strange is that I have v. 7.0 right now and had an earlier version before and somewhere along the line it must have asked me if I wanted to upgrade and I did, apparently without all this trouble. >> John, >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > At least you have the file now... > I hope it installs successfully for you. > I've been trying to install it, and it's been sitting at 6.4% for a > couple of hours.

Sorry...but I have no idea what the problem is. SignatureJohn Inzer Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk Do yourself a favor. Uninstall all previous versions then try the installation. I've known some others who have had difficulties when they an existing version on their system and tried to install a newer version.

Thanks, JoAnn, but I'm afraid to try that. My 7.0 is working fine for me, and I had so many troubles downloading that v. 8+ to my desktop; I don't know what might happen if I delete 7.0, and I need it! I think I might be safer to just stay with that. > Do yourself a favor. Uninstall all previous versions then try the > installation.

Find the download link...put your cursor on it, then right click and select Save Target As that will force a save.

(The 'other' Joy <S>, I see there is another Joy) Joy, Did you ever get this issue resolved? I am having the same problems. Every couple of days I get a message asking me to update Adobe Reader 8.1.2, but everytime I try, it says the installation failed. Curious to know if you got anything to work? > I've tried twice to download the upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 (I > think that's the version) Both times it starts and then I get an error > message and that it has to shut down. > > Joy P.
