Adobe Acobat

Can anyone please help me?

A few weeks ago I upgraded my Adobe Acrobat 7 reader to Adobe Acrobat 8 and immediatley afterwards I had various problems mainly the computer running very slow and hanging.

A friend on mine said this was happenning to his computer after the upgrade and apparently was cause by a bug in the Adobe Acrobat 8 software - he said to remove Adobe Acrobat 8 and wait several weeks until it was sorted out. I went to system restore to a date a few days earlier and removed it and my computer said it had reverted to Adobe Acrobat 7 and the computer problems were solved.

However when I tried to use Adobe Acrobat 7 nothing happenned and the computer just hung.

It is now several weeks later and I decided to do the upgrade again thinking the bug must have fixed by now the program downloads from the website then when I open it it trys to load and get the following message:-

"This patch could not be opened.Verify that the patch package exists and that you have access to it, or contact the application vendor to verify this is a Windows Installation package."

I then tried removing Adobe Acrobat 7 in add and remove programs and got the same messge.

Can anyone help me please?
