I have had a huge issue updating my adobe flash player, I think I might have solved it from looking here. The problem is now the Adobe reader, with everything I did installing, reinstalling, etc I suddenly could not print pdf files. I just uninstalled the reader and now it won't install at all I get the black screen of death at step 2. Can someone help me reinstall it with hopes that I can print again?

Thanks

The article Use Adobe Reader to view PDF files in Firefox doesn't go into specifics on how install Adobe Reader; it simply links to Adobe's download page. If I remember right, you can download the installer for Adobe Reader XI from that page, even if on Windows Vista, by choosing Windows 7 as the OS.

In any case, Firefox now has its own built-in PDF viewer, so you have other ways for opening, viewing and printing PDF files in Firefox, besides Adobe Reader or other PDF browser plugins. See View and edit PDF files using Firefox’s built-in viewer for details.

If your problem is only with installing Adobe Reader, maybe one of Adobe's articles will help?

For Adobe Reader installation issues that aren't solved by reading the above articles, your best bet would be to ask for help on the Adobe Reader forums.
