Default OT--Adobe Reader Updates -- necessary??

if internet explorer is open then the acrobat plugin is probably in use. or
it could be the 'acrobat assitant' is running with startup to help acrobat
files open faster... either way they could be more explicit what as to what
the problem is... i suppose you get what you pay for

Here's what happens, and this has happened with a few updates.

I start the process. During installation, it tells me it can't install
until I close the open version of Adobe (7.07 in this case). But there is
no open version. Even with ctrl/alt/del there is no open version running.
I press Continue and I get the same message. I wait awhile, press Continue
again, and it finishes installation.

I can't figure out why it does that.

But eventually it does install.

As stated, I am pleased with the new version, 7.08.

I assume nobody else has this balky installation.

I'm curious as to what "it was still balky" means? Other than the time it
takes to download and install, I'm not aware of any problems since I
first installed V7...

OK-- did the update. It still was balky, but I got it done and you are
right. There does seem to be a smoother transition between pages. Much
improved.

Hi Journey:

I just remember having a problem or two with previous upgrades.

Anyone know if it is advisable to upgrade??

(It is always such a pain and I'm not sure if it is necessary with
Adobe)

Why is it a pain? I'd just upgrade.

I recently updated both of my computers with the new Adobe updates and
thus far haven't had any problems. However, I haven't ever had a
problem with any of their updates as far as that goes. I don't recall
exactly what update created this feature but you can now scroll
smoothly between pages whereas before Adobe would cause a break between
pages. In other words you were not able to see the bottom of page 3 and
the top of page 4 at the same time; now you can.
