I think that I expressed myself badly. To try again: I go to the menu. I click on Adobe Reader. Nothing happens at all. I have tried to launch the application from the runner. Again, nothing at all happens. When I click on the file, nothing happens. If I right click on the file, I get offered various things with which to open it. None will open it. But Adobe Reader simply doesn't open. The annoying and ridiculous thing is that I downloaded and opened quite a few pdfs from the same source only a month ago without any problems. And I can still open those. :-( Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
