have been trying to download a free adobe reader so i can view bmd records, but i notice that it comes up as unsafe to download as author not present, has anyone been put off by this or do you reckon i should be brave and just download it? these things scare me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Susan, Adobe 7 is compatable with Windows XP, not sure about Vista, but would expect so. |

Susan, make sure you are only downloading Adobe acrobat READER and not the complete adobe package which they will charge for. |
