christmascracker Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 I've got version 5 at the mo, is it worth downloading the new version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grim Reaper Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 version 6 is quite a major upgrade although i am not sure what the functional difference is or what gains are to be made by upgrading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Radfordin Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 If you only use it for reading the odd PDF file then its not really worth the upgrade. It only works well on WinXP and then the best thing is dynamic scroll and getting it to read things to you. Both not that great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christmascracker Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Thanks, I am on XP but as I only really use it when I have to I'll give it a miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 I've just checked the Adobe update site through my Adobe Reader version 6.0.0 and I was told "No updates available".I'll give it a miss until I can get it from source.

-pops- Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Thanks, done it. Wonder why it told me there was no update? Never mind, all OK now.I do use the program a lot and I write pdf files as well, although I don't use Acrobat.Note to anyone on dial up. The file is 38MB+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Since downloading and installing the above, I have tried several times to register Adobe Photo Shop Album 2.0 Starter Edition, which downloaded with it. I have tried several times since yesterday, and receive a message 'UNABLE TO CONNECT TO SITE', any ideas please. The program states that unless it is registered I will not be able to use it indefinitely. It does not appear that I can get support for this program from the website.

Nowhere to be found!!I'm not bothered about it - I have other similar programs but it's stange where it's gone.It isn't shown in the list that opens up when you click START on my computer either, it is a new icon on the desktop. Every time that i double click on it, it is available for use, but asks me to register, otherwise the program will only be available for a short time. It just will not register. A window says 'trying to connect', then changes to 'failed to connect' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nellie2 Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 I haven't downloaded it myself but it seems to me that there might be a broken link in the registration process.... is there any feedback facility on the Adobe site??

Guest nellie2 Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 I don't know if this link will work... but I found some Adobe forums and someone else was having the same problem. In the end he disabled his firewall and was able to register that way but it seems a bit drastic!!no the link doesn't work so I took it out.. just click on my other link, go to the photoshop forum and click on the login as guest button and do a forum search with the keywords if you want.Here are the adobe forums.. http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/main.html I went to the Photoshop one and did a search using the keywords photoshop and starter.
