You can uninstall Acrobat 9 and install Acrobat 8.

I agree with Bernd, but he and the rest of us are simply guessing at what you have and was installed on your system, versus if you had AA8 on the system or have simply quit using it from another system. It would help to explain what is in your mind.

ok , as i said have windows vista ,,, (had AA8 everything worked fine ),,,,wifey was on line?says a window popped open saying?she needed to download?this crap ball AA9,,,,, an now with new an improved AA9?I cant print pdfs,,,,,, I was trying to find out if there is a fix for this new mess , or should I just go back to ole AA8 thanks

Whoa! Sounds like you might have gotten hit by a virus. I have not heard of a message that you need to download AA9, particularly since AA9 has a hefty price with such a download. Was the download actually from Adobe or some unknown site? If the latter, I would suspect the worst (OK, I get paranoid at times). If it was AR9 (the reader), then it might be a more reasonable request, but the download should still be done from Adobe.com. AR9 can run with AA8 also, but there are hickups that occur that leads to Adobe's recommendation to not do a dual installation. That goes for AA8 and AA9 also. Typically AA8 is uninstalled with the AA9 installation.

Because of my paranoid view, I would suggest running a serious virus scan before doing anything else. I would not transfer anything to another machine or use a memory stick until you are sure things are clean. I virus would surely potentially cause such problems.

Feel free to ignore my ranting, but I am concerned about what happened as the download was done and such. Unless you are real sure about the ''AA9'', I would finish a virus scan, uninstall the AA9, and go back to AA8. You will need to be sure you uninstall, delete the Acrobat folders, use the MS Cleanup utility (mentioned several times in the forum), and reboot before the reinstall. If you are sure you had a clean AA9 download from Adobe and not some other place, then you might try it again. I would be tempted to go back to AA8.
