You may want a second opinion before removing anything; and you could try my
alternative suggestion, see what happens when you just download and try to
open the file and not in Internet Explorer. Adobe 7 is better, and more up
to date, than Adobe Acrobat Reader 5. (Same company, different branding.)
Quite a few manuals are in .pdf, so perhaps there are games manuals hiding
on your computer!?

Hi Flor
I did not pay for any adobe downloads. They must have been installed when I
got the computer. I don't remember ever downloading any adobe software.
(I'd blame the kids only I can't imagine adobe being any advantage to
games:)I'm not sure what the difference is between the two. I just found
them when I looked in control panel. I will follow your instructions and
let you know of the outcome.
Thank you for your reply
Edel..
