Acrobat Reader Wont Run....

I am trying to download some vouchers. I have Win98 and Acrobat Reader 5.1 installed. I did try to install the later versions but my computer is too old for them! I keep getting the error message - this system has performed an illegal operation and needs to close. When I click on details this is the reason
:confused::confused: I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck:

    The problem lies within IE 6 trying to open a PDF file and display it within the browser window. There is an option
    inside Acrobat 5 to prevent this action.

    In Acrobat 5:
    On the Edit menu select Preferences.
    Select Options.
    Uncheck the 'Display PDF in Browser' check box.

    This option tells IE to open all PDF files within
    Acrobat. After clicking the link on a
    web page, the open/save window displays. Click Open.
    After the file completes the download, Acrobat opens and displays the document.
