How to Get Adobe Reader to Work on Vista
- 1). Check your system requirements. If you do not have Service Pack 1 for Vista, go to the Microsoft website and download the service pack. Test run your current version of Adobe to see if that helps the problem.
- 2). Upgrade your Adobe Reader. Many users are finding that Adobe Reader 8 and below are not working with Vista. Adobe has released version 9.2 that is reported to work with Vista.
- 3). Download the Adobe Reader upgrade file from the Adobe website.
- 4). Install the Adobe Reader upgrade file according to the instructions. Launch the program after install and test to see if it is in working order. You may have to reboot your system after the initial install of the upgraded Adobe Reader.
- 5). Run the program using the Program Compatibility Wizard if the problem still persists. The Program Compatibility Wizard allows you to run the programs you specify in a different operating system environment. Configure the wizard to run Adobe Reader in Windows XP if the problem you are experiencing in Vista is not eliminated.
