Hi Susan, Just to help out here. Adobe Reader is the program that gives you access to PDF files (you cannot read them with any other program). So I guess your computer is trying to install it so that it can open the PDF file. Paul may be able to talk you through the install over the phone if you need further help. All the best, Sharon _____ From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Susan Curry Sent: 12 June 2007 20:42 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] a dobie reader hi folks, some one sent me a attachment that contained a PDF file my computer isn't set up for receiving PDF files, now my computer keeps saying a dobie reader install, I can't stop this, what can I do? and what did I do to get this message in the first place? best wishes Susan ******************************************************************** NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
