Problems installing Adobe Reader on IE.?

My old version of Adobe Reader (7.0 I think) wasn't working properly - and everytime I clicked on a link from the Internet to open a pdf, the whole of Internet Explorer would close down. However, when I saved the link to my desk top and then opened the saved file, they would open fine.

This was bugging me, so I removed the Adobe Reader version, and went to install the new version 8.1. But now I can't install it! It downloads 100% according to the download manager status thing, but then an error message comes up saying "Windows canoont access the specified device, path or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item."

I've tried again with no firewall on and IE security on the lowest setting; same problem.

I'm running a Dell laptop with IE; Zone Alarm Security suite and Symantec AntiVirus.

Any suggestions, please?!

Hi, Completely Uninstall Adobe Reader 7.0 frome your computer and go to http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/re... to download the latest version 8.1 this should work , or reinstall Windows Internet Explorer 7....because according to your details the problems occur from IE7
I am thinking are you logged into your computer with administrator permissions, then I am thinking is you windows installation genuine and up to date.
You might need to download a Service pack(SP) for IE, you can find them on www.microsoft.com/downloads
