I.E. 7 and Acrobat Reader 8

notsobrite

I am using Vista and I.E. 7, I have been trying to download Acrobat Reader 8.
It starts then the window fades and I.E.7 shuts down. I have tried everything
I can think of. I've tried with Add-ons On and Add-ons Off, firewall,
antivirus and other security units on and off. I just can't get Acrobat 8 to
download, this is annoying since I have some PDF files/documents that I need
to open (these files were in my document folder prior to upgrading to I.E.7
and installing Vista. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Download from here. Be sure to uncheck options i.e. google toolbar, etc..
if you do not want them installed as well.

Have you tried opening the Acrobat app you have installed and updating
through it?
