Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Adobe 5.0 / Vista
I have a cd with a lot of useful test on it in Adobe 5.0. When I try to open it, I get a message that says there are known incompatiblities. However, a trip to the Adobe website doesn't reveal a fix or a patch. Any help is appreciated >I have a cd with a lot of useful test on it in Adobe 5.0.

Photoshop? Acrobat? Something else? If you're trying to read old PDF files, (just a wild guess) all you should have to do is upgrade (for free) to the latest reader. If that's it. http://adobe.8-1pdf.com/index.asp?aff=100&camp=google_adreader_us&se=google Which Adobe program? Ramone >I have a cd with a lot of useful test on it in Adobe 5.0.

Any help is > appreciated There is no patch, you must install the latest version of the Adobe software you wish to use. That is the fix.  SignatureRichard G.

The only way I can view the contents of the CD previouslly mentioned is on an old computer with Reader 5.0 installed....Installing 5.0 on the new computer doesn't work because as already stated there is compatability issues with Vista.

Any help is > appreciated As you have found out Adobe 5 is incompatible with Vista, as a possible solution to your problem try a program called 'Foxit Reader" is is a free download and you may be able to read your old PDF files. A internet search will bring up d/l locations. SignatureRegards Bob J If advise given from anyone, solves problem or not, or if solved from another source,post back & let us know.

As I indicated previously, there isn't any way or fix or patch to get a version of Acrobat Reader that old to install in Vista - it won't happen. So you need to find out why the documents won't work with a newer version, which they should. SignatureRichard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] rgharper@gmail.com * NEW!
