Recently I installed Adobe Reader 6.0 and deleted 5.0. After deleting reader
5.0 I could not open documents requiring acrobat reader unless I first opened
up adobe 6.0 from the desktop and found my document that way. If I double
clicked on a document directly I would receive a notice that windows could
not find a program exe. Similarly, when I try to open a document requiring
reader from outlook express the same notice comes up . I have windows 98.
Any suggestions? Regards, Doug

Reader 7 is out now, your current 6 is not properly
installed and the file associations are not correct.
Download Reader 7 and try again...be sure to read and follow
the instructions.
