Before installing Vista / checking what programs work with Vista

670070 2008-05-16 23:52:00 Why not use something else thats free and a fraction off the installed size such as Sumatra PDF? Adobe is 86mb Sumatra is about 7mb installed gary67 (56)

670074 2008-05-17 02:39:00 Well tell us what the specs are of your PC.

It'll pay to find out, whether your system will handle Vista first.
