    I had already downloaded Adobe Reader X and Adobe Acrobat 5 and that is when I was getting the notice "Adobe Acrobat 5 is incompatable with this version of windows (windows 7)" Any further suggestions?

    Well, you are being told thar Adobe Acrobat is not comptible with Win 7, which may be true, but this is the Adobe Reader forum. The Acrobat forums are here:

     

    http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat

     

    In any case, Adobe does not reccomend having both Acrobat and Reader installed in the same machine, unless they are both v. X.

    My Adobe Reader is an X. How do I get the Adobe Acrobat as a "v? If I have to delete one, which do you believe I should get rid of?

    That v. was for version.

     

    If I really needed Acrobat and it was working for me, I would delete Reader. If all I wanted to do is to read PDF files, then I woud delete that very old version of Acrobat.
