Acrobat Reader 
There are several versions of Acrobat Reader currently being used; if you receive an error message when trying to open a course handout or syllabus, please know that it is possible to view the document directly from the course disk.

On a Windows Computer
Double-click on My Computer then go to your CD disk drive; it is probably your (D) drive and will be labeled VESI. Right-click on VESI and select EXPLORE; this will show the contents of the disk. Double-click on the folder labeled DATA - inside are the handouts and syllabus.

Viewing PDF files in Macintosh OS 10.4 
The new Macs do not ship with Adobe Reader installed; PDF files by default open with Preview. The PDF files on your disk may appear as gibberish when opened with Preview. Go to www.adobe.com to download and install the newest Adobe Reader program (no charge). After it is installed, click on a PDF file to highlight it, hold down the Command-I keys to view properties, and select 'Open with'. Pick the Reader program and set it as the default program.
