Hi,
for some reason i cannot open or download files to my computer, i have tried downloading adobe but cannot do this either, for instance if i want to open a form from a website, a box comes up saying 'open with...' and gives me a list of programs to open with which none work, what can i do?
thanks

Download the Adobe Reader from here (click off the Google toolbar).

Then after the download has finished RUN file to install it.

http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/

You should then be able to open pdf files.

Try foxit reader for pdf files, an excellent free programme.

hi VHG,

thanks for the link, i have tried downloading from this but i get the same message from when i tried before:

"The feature you are trying to use is on a network source that is unavailable

Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'reader7.msi' in the box below."

with a "use source" drop down box with Browse next to it,

thanks again for any help

It sounds silly, but are you definitely trying to install what you have downloaded?

Try to download again and save the file somewhere different to normal, then try to install from there. Reader 7 is an old version.
