Sounds like yo've received Acrobat as an add-on on a CD for another program, and a fairly old one at that. I'm going to assume you're running Windows 9x, and have extensions turned off in Explorer. You should right-click on the file and choose "Properties". I'm willing to bet the file is called acroread.inf. This is an information file for the installation program. Sounds like you'll probably need to re-install. On Friday 05 October 2001 13:06, P. U.
