I use IE6.0 and WinXP SP-e Home edition. I cannot rremove Adobe 7.0 Pro when I use the control panel add/remove. Do I have to uninstall before installing Adobe 8.0 Pro? If I must uninstall the older how can I proceed to do this. TIA

Yes, you should remove the older version first. Here are some tips on removing the older version:

Thank you for your reply. While waiting for help I inserted the Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro CD I had purchased ands found that it would automatically remove 7.0before installing the new program. I proceeded to run it and the new program installed beautifully.
