Adobe reader 7 compatability issues

I have set my computer to download regular updates from Microsoft. I have
Adobe reader 7, and Microsoft VIsta all new w/i the last 6 months. This week,
after new updates were installed, everytime I try to open a file or document,
the message comes up that "Adobe has compatability issues with this version
of Windows" and gives the option to search for a solution (unavailable) or
run program. How do I fix this, please?

Adobe Reader is up to 8.1.1 now. Uninstall the version you have and go
to Adobe's website to get the latest version.

first time!

Maybe it would be worth a try to
install Adobe Reader 8.1.1

Absolutely! Acrobat Reader has gotten sooo big and sooo slow that I can't
stand having it around.

Unless you have an app written specifically for AR, delete it with extreme
predigis.

(And many apps say they 'require' AR, but 99.5% don't really.)
