Now, does anyone know whether installing Acrobat Reader 7 or 8 will

When you find out, let me know ;-)

I was hoping you'd be the one to tell me... :~)

(chances are it will reassign you file associations to point at the new
reader - you could manually point them back of course)

That's probably the easy bit. Altering the interaction between
Acrobat/Reader and Firefox is another area of potential grief, IME...

Of course another approach might be to find a "utility" that would
"convert" this PDF to one easier to read, if you follow my drift.

Quite a nice way to experiment with software without any risk to your
stable platform. I have two WinXP MCEs and a SuSE Linux running in
parallel in their own windows now.

Interesting. Does it gobble all your resources and grind exceeding
slowly, though?
