I downloaded Evince and am using that for the time being, but it lacks a lot of the features Reader has.If your PDF file opens in another application, you may need to tweak Adobe Reader’s settings: I could not find Reader in my installed programs, so I tried to download it again, but still get the "newer version already installed" error. Then the next time I tried to open a PDF from my hard drive, it said I had no software to open it. That was when I got the "newer version already installed" error. This turned out to be because Chrome no longer supports that type of plug-in, but before I found that out, I tried reinstalling Reader 11 to see if that would fix it.

The Adobe Reader plug-in in Chrome was not working. I had Reader 11 installed and working fine until yesterday. I tried Reader 10, but the installation failed. I tried the Acrobat Cleaner, but it didn't help. I have Windows 7 and When I try to install Reader 11, it says "newer version already installed." I see several people have had this problem, but no one seems to have a solution that works.
