I replaced my old "slave" XP system computer with a new ASUS Windows 7 computer. I connect the slave computer (Windows 7 OS) wirelessly through a Linksys router.with my "home" computer (XP OS) and the internet. I get the following error message when I try to install Adobe Reader: "error 1606: could not access network location %APPDATA%\. I cannot download through either Firefox or through Windows Explorer.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== When I changed from my old XP OS "slave" computer with a new ASUS with Windows 7 OS. I also had to buy a new Linksys wireless adaptor.

Dwight, are you sure this is an issue with Firefox?

No. As a matter of fact, I tried to install it using Internet Explorer 64 bit. It also would not install Acrobat 9.3My PC is an ASUS E5400, Pentium Dual-core, 2.7 GHz each, with 6.oo GB RAM and 64 bit OS.

I spent a couple of hours on-line with a Linksys troubleshooter to see if the problem was with my Linksys router or adaptor. Neither of them appear to be the problem.

I always get this error message: "error 1606 - could not access network location, %APPDATA%\"

Any suggestions?

See this for a partial explanation of that 1606 error code. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886549

Since your problem is with an Adobe product, why not try the Adobe support forums. http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa
