O/T where do I find Microsoft exe?

Todd O. Cronkhite Native of Maine

>I so aggravated with this computer that I'm ready to give it a damn good thrashing. Actually it's not the computer, it's the idiot at the controls, but somethings goona get a good whooping, and it ain't gonna be me.

I'm trying to open some pictures from a site concerning crosscut saws and I keep this message that says windows can find Microsoft exe. which is needed to open PDF files. Seems to me it is somewhere on my computer, but dang if I know how to find it and make it work. Can anybody help me out a bit before I go totally berserk?

>You need to download Acrobat reader. Most sites serving up files in that format also have a link to the download site.

(As a technical explaination, you've associated an application other than Acrobat Reader with PDF's. - a Microsoft.exe file to be exact. Not that I know what the heck that is...I suspect you've mistyped, but whatever... Download Acrobat and run the EXE it gives you and install it. When it's done, it will "fix" the file association problem and all will be well - or at least that's what we hope!)

Best,

Greg
