When I try to install Acrobat Reader, it gets interrupted after the screen "preparing to install" begins.
I am using Win98SE with IE removed and firefox installed.
AMD 1600 XP with 256 SD Ram.
I had installed the Reader several times over the years without any problem.
Will any of you kindly help?

Dear Saurav,
Actually I was always having problems like crashes and hang ups earlier. Once I removed the IE (using IE Eradicator) and Norton System Works and started using Firefox and Avast antivirus along with Zone Alarm, Spybot and Ad Aware, the system is practically problem free and faster. The only problem encountered over the last several months is the one mentioned, ie. Acrobat installation.

And Dear Pirates, I am actually planning to buy Xp. But I am also going to upgrade to AMD 64 939. So What I fear is that if I buy and install and register XP now, once I change my hardware like processor and MB, it may cause problems with the registratio, if what I heard is correct. Kindly enlighten me about this.

You will not have any problems if you chnage your hardware for registration/activation. You purchase the software means you own it for your use within EULA. This allows you to install one license copy on as many computers as many times as you want, but only one installation at a time is allowed. So if you want to install the OS on secont PC keeping it also on first PC, it is not allowed.

Of course I will use it only on one computer.

Thanks to you all.
