I have 6.0.x. Each time I need the reader, I get a msg about do I want to update. The update looks like it's about 30M. That's way more than I'm going to do on my 30K baud modem. I can use a San Disk at the library. I downloaded what I believe was a suitable update program, AdbRdrUpd708_all_incr.exe, but when I attempt to use it, it warns me that I may not have some suitable components installed. What to do? Where do I get a proper update?

I just checked the Reader Help and see that it thinks I did a partial update. It's possible I'd start something via the net, but, when I saw the size stopped. It gives me the option to remove the update. Should I?

Go back to the library with your portable memory device and download the full install (I know it's more than 3x the size of the update, but you won't have any "missing parts" complaints). Uninstall your old version of Acrobat Reader from Control Panel > Add/Remove Software before installing the new version.

Or, IIRC, there should be someplace in the nag screen to turn off the reminders about upgrading. And turn off the "automatically check for updates" in the Edit > Preferences dialog.
I have no trouble downloading very large files by going to the library, but I've never seen the full sized version.

nag? Don't know what that's about.

Ctrl Panel->System->Update tab?
