Quite correct Jamal.  Why should they produce an updated
product and yet support an operating system that is
essentially no longer being developed?

Here's the spec.

Adobe Reader 7.0 system requirements
WindowsIntel(r) Pentium(r) processor Microsoft(r) Windows
2000 with Service Pack 2, Windows XP Professional or Home
Edition, or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 128MB of RAM Up to
90MB of available hard-disk space Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.5 or higher

I hear that Adobe Reader 7.0 does not work on any version of
Windows 98, and that Adobe Reader 6.x only works on the SE
version of Windows 98.

Subject: [guispeak] installing acrobat problems


I am trying to install an acrobat reader on a win 98 SE
machine.  This machine had previously handled the reader
quite well but had to have the

system reinstalled after a virus attack.  Now the install
begins, files are prepared, and then the installation wizard
says:  "acrobat does not run on this operating system and
installation is cancelled.".  I have tried three different
versions of the reader, all for windows 98, each from a
different source.  All produced the same result.  I tried
e-mailing adobe but received an automated response saying
"go to our web site."  I tried the web site and discovered
ways of dealing with lots of problems, but there was no
mention of this problem.  There seemed no practical way of
getting direct advice on the free reader.  Has anyone else
encountered a problem installing the accessible version of
acrobat reader?  Are their windows components or other files
which might not have been reinstalled when windows was
placed back on the machine that might cause this problem?
In short, anyone have any ideas at all?
