BUT, may I make a suggestion? You don't need Adobe Reader. You can use another less bloated and safer program to read pdf files.
1. Sumatra http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sumatra_pdf.html
2. PDF-XChange Viewer http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/pdf_xchange_viewer.html
3. Foxit http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/foxit_reader.html

 

For one thing, XP runs IE8 and won't run IE9. That requires Vista or later. As far as Adobe, run the latest version for security reasons. Earlier versions aren't supported by Adobe because of security issues that arose.

 

PLO Dr thanks for helping- I am sorry but I do have IE8 on the dammed XP... I think, I know I downloaded adobe flash 13. but I think there was a problem. Your detailed note to me with the many links talks about Reader- I'm ok there I just need flash to view videos when I need to use the XP...

 

Download and run Flash Player Uninstaller and then download and install the latest stable version of Flash Player Active X for IE right here at Major Geeks.

 

THANK YOU MCDONAH! I WILL INSTALL FROM MAJOR GEEKS! PERFECT...:cool

 

Be aware there is a drive by that affects IE versions 6 through 11.
I'd not browse with IE; if you choose to live dangerously, do the workaround

You'll note that XP is not mentioned because MS no longer supports XP.

 

Hi PLODR.. thanks again for responding..and the good advice about driver issues for iIE 6-11.. whoa did not know. what browser would u use if you didn't want to live dangerously and use IE???:wave

 

Firefox or Chrome

 

If you MUST work with IE for some reason, you can download and install Microsoft's Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) version 4.1. It supports XP SP3 and later.

What plodr was mentioning is not a driver but, a "drive by" exploit as in "drive by shooting".
