Hi Grace, I must admit that my PAF files were in a dreadful mess due mainly to my early days when I was in 'learning mode'. This 'Foxit' execise has however prompted me to get rid of all the unwanted PAF files so that I have it all in 'pristine condition'.All have been 'check repaired' although the indications were that such was'nt required. I still get the same dialogue however and cannot install Foxit. I have been told that it may be due to a bug in the Foxit programme that needs attention so I have sent them an email asking for advice. Regarding your own problem .......... perhaps 'check repairing' may be the way to go ........ try it and see. If it does'nt work then it might be best to take it up with the software suppliers.
