When I go to system (alt space), it says that restore is unavailable. ow what? Thanks, and sorry to be so short and abrupt with my questions, but I'm really under the gun here...but I bet you caught that! ha ha in haste, Alice alicedh@xxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Ray Foret jr <mailto:rforetjr@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 11:55 AM Subject: Re: new adobe reader version System restore. But before you do that, try to step back for a minute, take time to work out what's happening and ask other blind people how they handled Adobe 9. As for me, I don't bother with it yet. That's why I don't have very good advice for you about that. However, there are others here who would know better about that sort of thing.

I'm so fed up, I'd like to revert the commputer to the way it was before I downloaded the blasted thing. The older version worked fine... can you tell me how to do that? I forget... Thanks Alice, very annoyed right now! arg alicedh@xxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Ray Foret jr <mailto:rforetjr@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 10:56 AM Subject: Re: new adobe reader version Alice, It sounds to me like it's not the version of Adobe Reader; rather, it's the document itself. Your discription seems to suggest that the document is an image which will require OCR to decode.

Now when I try to read a pdf document, I get the message alert: empty document. What's going on? How can I fix this?
