If you don't have Adobe Reader correctly installed, when you click on one of the links on one of the ANG Cactus Wren Web pages that requires Adobe Reader, you might get a popup window that says you need Adobe Reader. It might give you a link where to find this piece of free software. If not, you can download it for free by clicking here: Download Adobe Reader.  Before downloading a new version of Adobe Reader, it is recommended that you remove or uninstall any existing versions on your computer.  Often, "updating" from one version of Adobe Reader to a newer version has created problems.  To check for and remove existing versions of Adobe Reader, click on your Windows "Start" button,  then on "Settings", "Control Panel", "Add/Remove Programs".  If one or more versions of Adobe Reader (also known as Acrobat Reader) are shown as being installed, remove all versions, then reinstall the new version as directed at the above link.

Follow the instructions given on that page (Download Adobe Reader), and hit the "download" button.

1. You'll probably get a popup window that asks what you want to do with the file you're downloading. Choose "save to disk" and choose a folder on your computer where you want it (remember the name and location of the download file, so you can find it in the next step). Sometimes, it's just easier to save this downloaded file to your Desktop.
2. After the Adobe Reader file has finished downloading, you need to "run" that file to install the Adobe Reader program (unless it automatically installs, in which case you won't have to do the following step).
3. To install the Adobe Reader software, go to the folder on your hard drive ("C" drive) where you just saved the download file. Double click on that file to begin installing Adobe Reader. (If you saved the downloaded file to your Desktop, you just need to double click on the icon for that file on your Desktop).
