    Well, you would need the Internet to download the Adobe .exe file. Can you download the file from another (public or otherwise) machine. Failing that, Adobe is always included on the PcPro cover disc. Foxit Reader is a nice alternative to Adobe, and I think also included ;).

    HTH.

    Like busenbust said above, you have to download the exe file onto your memory stick.
    Then copy and paste it onto your laptop.
    The Foxit Reader is a smaller file than the Adobe one.
    It's available from here:-http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/

  • Setup the machine to go on the internet then and download from any public place, college, cafe, pub, next door, why bother with "other" pc ??
  • Thanks everyone for your time. I knew you guys wouldnt let me down. All sorted now p.s. "totalsolutions" setting up laptop onto internet is another one of my challenges (lol)

    thanks again
