New HP Pavilion with Windows 7 x64 I downloaded Foxit Reader and installed it and then Uninstalled Adobe Reader to save space. Then, although it will open my PDF's in "My Documents", it will not open the Guides or Learning PDF's in the HP Help and Support files. Is there someone with more experience using Foxit Reader than can suggest a work around? If I reinstall Adobe PDF then it all works again. John

the-edmeister,

Thank you! # 30 Under "Foxit Reader". I went back and set the Foxit Reader as the Default. I'm pretty sure that I did that when I first installed it and it asked if I wanted Foxit to be the Default Reader. Anyway, I think it is fixed. John
