Error message when opening forms on PC without full version of Acrobat

I created a form in Acrobat 9.3.2 (Mac) and when it's opened by a PC user without the full Acrobat program an error message appears: (Cannot Save Form Information, Please Note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, please fill it in and print it.)

I want to include this verbiage in my document and not have the error message appear, it it looks to the user as if something is wrong.

Is there a way to disable this error message?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.3.1, Macintosh

That sounds like the user has Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. It is a warning message and not an error message

This message only appears when a user has Reader and is using a form for which has not had Extended Reader Rights applied to it.

Thank you very much for the prompt response.

My next question would be "How do I apply the Extended Reader Rights?" I look at all of the security settings and I am allowing everything.

From Acrobat Pro go to the Advanced menu and click on Enable User Rights in Adobe Reader.
