HELP!!
Regardless of which site I am on, I receive an error message which reads: 16 bit ms-dos subsystem, NTVDM CPU illegal application and C:\progra~\adobe\acroba~2.0

It freezes up my screen and gives two choices of either ignore or cancel

HELP!! I am using Windows XP

Thank you

Items in blue which are underlined are clickable to give more information about the process

Click start then run, type sfc /scannow then press enter, you need the XP CD and Windows File Protection will show a blue onscreen progress bar, when the bar goes, reboot

Windows File Protection will show an on screen blue progress bar which will simply disappear when the scan is complete, reboot when it does

If you do not have an XP CD you can borrow a same version as was originally installed XP CD, if you downloaded SP2 then you need an SP1 XP CD
