Now, when I try to reboot Windows, Windows gives me an error message and kicks me into Safe Mode. The error says something about atmsys, but it's too fast for me to read it all. Answer: Acrobat Reader makes certain changes to your system.ini file. If the installation doesn't finish completely, these changes may cause Windows not to boot. What Reader changes: In your System.ini file, you previously had a line in your [boot] section that read: system.drv=system.drv Installing Acrobat Reader probably removed the other line, and added one or both of these lines to the [boot] section of the system.ini file: system.drv=atmsys.drv atm.system.drv=system.drv In order to get windows to boot, you will have to remove the lines that Acroread placed in your system.ini (whether it added one or both), and replace them with the original line. So, when you're done, under the [boot] section of the system.ini, you should have a line that reads: system.drv=system.drv When you're finished doing this, if you need to have Acrobat Reader on your system, download a new version from Adobe's webpage at: https://www.adobe.com/ 2/9/1999 10:30:17 AM
