Re: Windows XP updates

You're not providing your 2,500 seats with sufficient security. Get Reader v8.1.1 installed ASAP.

Jupiter,

Thanks for your reply.

We have more than 2500 PCs using Acrobat Reader 6 and I don't want to add an
extra job for Technical support to install Acrobat Reader 7 because this
update is making problems with IE and Acrobat Reader.

I will try to restore one of the PCs and install the updates one by one
until I find the one that caused the problem.

Is there some reason you do not want the latest version of Acrobat
Reader?
That seems to be the solution.
Perhaps Adobe has an answer, possibly in release notes for version 7
even though 7 is older than these updates?

You could try installing the updates one at a time until you find the
specific update that causes the problem.

If all computers already have the updates:
Try System Restore on one computer to date/time before updates and
issue started.
Verify there is no longer an issue.
Then install updates one at a time on that computer until issue
returns.

ASAP.
