I have downloaded & installed this free version of foxitsoftware. I hope it works. Would you suggest me uninstalling the ADOBE 9.0 READER? Thanks, Lara personally, yes. Later versions of Adobe reader eat a lot of system resources and hard drive space, but it is a personal call - I have found Foxit to be a better program. Either way if you intend to install the newer, patched version when it is released you'll need to get rid of the bugged one anyway. Karl
