Comment:

Im trying to install Adobe reader but the error returned is "The temp folder is on a drive that is full or inaccesible.Free up space on the drive or verify that you have permission on the temp folder" Im completely baffled by this and havent got a clue as to what its referring to. My temp folder sits within my profile under %temp% and that folder only has a few Kb in it from running programs in RAM. The rest of the C drive is a clean as a whistle as i run window washer regularly.Any idea`s?

This is from the ADOBE website:

" Reader 8 has been tested with a beta version of Windows Vista, and Adobe expects a subsequent version of Reader to support the shipping version of Windows Vista. "

I have Vista Home Basic and Adobe Reader 7 works perfectly. No Probs installing it or running it. Download Adobe Reader 7 and it will probably work for you too.

I recently edited the local security policy to elevate rather than prompt for admin access which is a feature of UAC. Guess il amend it again and turn the feature back on fully.. lol

You need to read this security bulletin issued by Adobe for Acrobat Reader version 7.0.8 and earlier
