Guess I'll try that again later, from the XP machine. Maybe it's a Win 7 issue, once more.

Get Reader LE 2.5. Additionally, as a standard procedure, get the *.cab files for any add-on programs, copy them to the expansion card on your device (the main memory and the expansion card on your device will show up as disks in windows) and then click on the cab on your device to run them. Do not use the *.exe files to install from your computer. Then you are completely independent of the environment on your computer. Besides, why should you have these programs install something on your computer?
Should you not have any add-on card (SD or something) then create a special folder in main memory, run the files from there and remember to delete theinstallation files, *.cab, afterwards.
By the way, a great program to have for such matters is MyMobiler. When the device is connected to your computer you can use your computer's mouse and keyboard to control your device, and the device screen will show up as a window on your desktop. Really speeds up data entry, etc. Also free. This one you have to install the *.exe since it has a desktop component. And it works fine with 64-bit Windows 7, which is what I am using.
