MessageHey Ray,

This is unrelated to the initial query from Jonathan:

Didn't you mention something about an acrobat killer that was able to kill
off acrobat reader that is started, but not closed when you're done, when
you view a pdf in IE?

Although it'd be odd for this to cause encoding prompts, but it could be a
problem opening a Word doc off read-only media like a CD, since Word wants
to create that ~docname.doc temporary copy of any file it opens.  I don't
know if his PDF viewer also does that, but if it's that piece of s**t Adobe
Reader, anything's possible.

Ray at work

  Wow it seems like a lot of my posts lately have asked off-topic questions,
but you guys have never let me down in the past so I'm asking away



  I burned over a directory to CD before Christmas of 2005 for a user and in
the past have been able to access data on the disk before I turned it back
over to the user.  Recently the user came to me saying that she could not
open up any of the word documents or any of PDFs.  The file structure and
folders are there, but when I click on any of the word documents, Word asks
for the format they are (Unicode, Westernized, etc).  I have tried the cd on
varios pcs and am getting the same results, any help or ideas?
