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? -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Costanzo, Ray Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 9:03 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: Slight OT:question on a CD rom 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.

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?
