Question

Can't download/install Adobe Reader X

Jun 4, 2011 6:57AM PDT

Tried to download Adobe Reader X but keep getting message saying "Windows has blocked this download because can't verify the publisher". My OS is Windows XP(Service Pack 3) and I use IE 8 for my browser. I also tried with Firefox but I get the same message. I even disabled Windows Security Essentials, my only AV software installed.

...it may take a while to connect.. Try again.. Or use a different browser which accepts FTP sites correctly. If have found there FTP site to be busy at certain times of the day.

It works here in both Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, and Firefox.

Hope this helps.
