If you're using Windows Vista, you need to set Permission as Administrator.

If you have a previous version of Acrobat installed, it must be removed.

You could also run the Repair Acrobat Installation from the Help menu.

Click this link and follow the instructions. If they don't work, contact Acrobat customer support. Support telephone number is in the PDF file.

Thanks for the reponse.
I'm on Windows XP, but I set myself as the Administrator - no effect.
The previous version is uninstalled.
The Repair Acrobat Installation did not work.
The program appears to crash each time you try to use a drop down menu.
(I am old fashioned - I expect to buy something that works)
