I found a discussion board

Seems I'm not the only one with this problem (using Win 98 SE)

http://forums.primopdf.com/showthread.php?t=367

I had taken it all out and deleted it, and in the process of downloading it
again, thinking that might be the problem. When I saw the forum. When it
downloads again, I'll try doing it the way someone posted they had, to get
it to work.

Though it involves adding to the registry and installing again, etc. It
seems to be detailed directions that others said worked.

I wanted to put this in (here) in case anyone else has the problem and
puts it in search.

I'll be back with the results...
