I did a search for Acrobat Reader and found a file called C:\Acrobat3\Reader There are folders in the file named ActiveX, Browser, Fonts, Help, Optional, Plug_ins, All are empty folders With Windows Icon DelsL1.isu and DelsL2.isu, These are not readable. I went to the ReadMe.pdf and found these instructions This ReadMe contains information about installing Acrobat Reader 4.0 for Windows and Troubleshooting Issues. Installing and Uninstalling Acrobat Reader 4.0 for Windows To install Acrobat Reader 4.0, follow these steps: - Uninstall Acrobat Reader 3.x using the uninstaller available through the Start menu. ------ I cannot find the uninstaller at the start menu. - Make sure you have at least 10 MB of available disk space - Install Acrobat Reader 4.0 Note: If you uninstall Acrobat 3.x or Acrobat Reader 3.x after installing Acrobat Reader 4.0, you will need to reinstall Acrobat Reader 4.0 for it to work properly........... This was installed from a Web site somewhere. Uninstalling Acrobat Reader 4.0 Acrobat Reader 4.0 can be removed using the Adobe Acrobat 4.0 uninstaller which is available through the Start menu. If you uninstall Acrobat 4.0, you will also automatically uninstall Acrobat Reader 4.0 because they share common files..................... I have the uninstall for 4.0 I went to the Add/Remove Program Properties and there is an install for Adobe Acrobat 4.0, nothing for Acrobat 3. Any ideas except for shooting this computer?

I am trying to read Birth/Death records online. I have Acrobat Reader 4.0. When I try to open the file it opens in Notepad and it is not readable. I cannot find out how to change it so it will ask me what program to use to open it. Normally when this is needed to read it opens it automatically. Thank You Rose

A flying saucer landed in New York's Central Park and a large crowd quickly gathered. As they watched eagerly, a hatch slid open and an alien figure in a gleaming silver metallic spacesuit emerged. He announced to the waiting multitude: "I bring you greetings from the planet of Xenon-Alpheria in the galazy XLR-9, two million light years from your planet Earth. Take me to your Leader." An embarrassed silence fell for several moments, then a voice shouted from the crowd: "Can you come back in another coupla million light years?" As the spaceman turned and sadly got back into his flying saucer, another voice shouted: "And bring a good lawyer with you."

I want to thank everyone who responded about Firewalls............ Some very interesting reading.......... I guess I really don't need one............... Bunny

You can check out this site http://www.tribecaexpress.com/firewallfaq.htm#head_whatis for FAQ's on firewall. They can be a good thing and some home users have them if they work at home. Don't be scared into thinking you need a firewall to protect your system. There are other ways to protect it for the home user such as turning off your file sharing. It also depends on your connection to the internet. I'm not real fond of cable modem myself because you are sharing your pipe with others. I used to work for an internet company and I never heard of anyone "hacking" into the residential users system and we didn't sell firewall to the residential user because like your ISP said, it's not really needed. I hope that helps some?!

This site has quite a bit of information about firewalls: http://webopedia.internet.com/TERM/f/firewall.html Cora

In addition to Dr. Bill's comments I thought I'd let you know that firewall's are commonly found on business web servers and companies that have their own internal networks. It is a layer of protection they use (and control) to protect themselves because they have a large number of employees and multiple possible entries into their computer network. You don't normally find a firewall on your home computer.

A firewall is one more line of defense against Virii but you will block out many things you would like to receive.....my ISP said as much as 30 to 40 percent of your mail.

I called and asked my server what a firewall is. They said I don't need one and no other explanation. Can someone tell me what a firewall does. I have Norton antivirus and use Windows 98. Bunny
