Screw you, Windows. I shouldn’t have to pay more money to get specific tech support just because Vista is so freaking finicky. If anyone can tell me why not a single PDF file works even though I have AcroReader9, it would be greatly appreciated.

You are talking about Adobe Acrobat Reader right. If you aren’t, try it.If you are, never mind, got nothing useful for you. Oh and by the way, never and I mean never buy a demo of any shape. It’s a headache looking for a brain to land in.Maybe that’s something useful in the end.
Windows is not the problem.. Its Bill Fucking Gaetz… I am all for capitalism and the market system… But this fucker has single handedly created an american india where the its not the cow that is sacred.. Its the cash COW… Monpoly is not just a dice game for kids…Bill gets up on the media, and gives a “Bill”-ion dollars to some charity… So fucking what.. He’s still got 99 trillion left over…Come to me you dirt-fucker and show me your humanity as a person who has given their last dollar to an indigent and then maybe you will gain an ounce of my respect…In the meantime, you can just continue to have your chumps find ways to stick it to the little guy, by making it impossible to upgrade in any small way without having to buy and learn a whole bunch of “new” but otherwise regressive technology… Like Vista.Shame on you Bill, you pathetic fucking weasel…
Geez DEMO = USED. you bought a used PC the issue is LIKELY that the DEMO ( IE already used ) PC has been messed with . Odds are that reinstalling windows will fix the issue. Blaming Bill Gates for this is like finding a stain on a piece of clothing at Value Village and blaming the designer.USED = someone else had a chance to mess with it.
Elvis, obviously you have no sense about anything… If you can’t see the big picture here, it’s because you’ve got your head up your hole…Built-in-Obsolecense and Backward-Incompatibility are the hallmarks of an intentional and calculated manouver whereby the dollars leave your pocket and arrive in theirs, regardless of the cost to you otherwise…If you prefer to be fucked with your eyes closed, be my guest…
Floyd, yes I am sure you’re familiar with having a head up your ass. I’ll take your word for it. Please tell me how to save the world one post at a time. Especially since you know all about me and my background in the world of IT. So even though I do agree about the planned obsolescence of PCs. I was referring to your Irrelevant rant regarding the OPs bitch. She bought a used PC. Someone may have messed up the software BEFORE she got it. I don’t know, there isn’t enough info given. WHY should Microsoft provide support for a PC that A) was a likely user caused issue and B) to do with NON Microsoft software IE adobe.to the OP. If you wish to post up more info; error messages, etc I will check back and see If I can make any relevant suggestions to helpFloyd, you can pack sand up your ass, because I’m sure your pea sized brain alone leaves it pretty empty up there.
Why do I get the funny feeling that you’re about to impress us all with your credentials in the IT field…Let me guess… You’re a compu-college graduate of the 3-week “IT Specialist” program…
Not even close.well you seem to know all about it, why don’t you IMPRESS us with yours.Go ahead and make another irrelevant post.
Well okay, for starters I’ve got a Phd from F.U.
Lame. try again
Another Saturday night and no coin eh..?? Sucks to be you hanging out in Maw’s basement and all…
Darn Floyd; I was totally expecting something funny; even at my expense.Oh well
Hey OP try “foxit” reader its free open source software that does pdfs… i have been using it for a while now i find it much better than adobe and easier on just about any PC
Probably should have ‘wiped & reloaded’ / format & re-installed the software when you got it. But then you are still left to deal with the Vista. Perhaps it was not updated, the updates should address a few issues. But I would still look into having the hard drive Formatted and Re-installing the Vista. Paying for support from Micro$oft would suck.
Thanks T, everything seems to be working much better with foxit.
No Prob. I like to use open source everything these days nice that it is free and people only try to make it better not worse.I cant really understand why people would want backwards compatible hardware. If you wanna use ur old ass scanner or printer of vid card or whatever use it in ur old ass pc.Other than for data fuck backwards compatibility dont get a new PC if you cant afford the shit that comes with it.Ohh yah and the charity that Bill set up with his wife and warren Buffet has an endowment of 38+ Billion as of 07…so yah fuck that guy what an ass eh
