after sp3

After I successfully upgraded my XP to sp3 I am not able to download Adobe 9
which is not recognizing sp3 and keeps looking for sp2. Help, please. Thanx

And where are you trying to download it from?

Interesting, have you contacted Adobe to see if they have heard anything
about this problem. I've had no problem on 3 computers so far with
downloading and installing Version 9.

No, have not contacted them yet. Though, I already have Adobe 5 & 7.

Perhaps you need to uninstall 5 & 7 and then install 9.

Assuming you're referring to Adobe (Acrobat) Reader v9:

1. Uninstall your current version of Adobe (Acrobat) Reader (*not* Adobe
Acrobat!) via Add/Remove Programs.

2a. Download/install Adobe (Acrobat Reader) v8.1.2 Security Update 1:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloa...jsp?ftpID=3967

NB: Beware of unwanted "drive-by" installs (e.g., Open Office; Yahoo
Toolbar)!

[I consider v9 still a beta myself. It's been causing all sorts of odd
problems, especially in WinXP SP3 w/IE7 installed.]

2b. Or download/install FoxIt Reader:

Thanks tons, PA Bear, your answers are so helpful and I'm really glad that I
finally joined this discussion group, it is a whole different world than
toughing things out on my own. Anyway, I opted to install FoxIt to minimize
aggravation with this new sp3 which is already causing strange things in my
computer. I will open a new thread to ask more ;-). Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanx
