First, I tried searching the forum using + acrobat + 6 + vista as instructed. I got errors with and without the plusses. I used Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 under XP. My new PC has Vista Home Edition (basic version) and my Acrobat will install, but will not start normally. I can get it running by using it to open a PDF file, but when open, it won't perform a conversion from Word to PDF. There is some indication that the problem is in my printer drivers, but I'm not sure about this. Has anyone had the particular problem and was it fixable other than buying newer software? Dale
