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

Open tools>Internet Options>General Tab
Under Browsing History click on View Objects
Click on View and select details
Are any of the controls listed as damaged? Right click and select Remove.
If there are some with a Black Shield and Yellow Exclamation Mark inside of
it, right click and remove it. Reboot

Now go to Tools >Internet Options>Advanced Tab>Reset Button
This will disable all toolbars, add-ons, and remove sites from trusted sites
list
Retry adobe download

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?

This fixed the problem with the colors on the links and I thank you very
much! As for the Adobe 8 installation, nothing happens when I attempt to
install. For now, I'm going to stick with version 7 of Adobe Reader. It's
working fine and I'd much rather have the colored links for my IE7 searches
than the current Reader version. Thanks again!
