I am stuck - Vista will not allow me to save a download from Adobe for Acrobat 7.0 because I do not have permission to save in the My Programs folder. When I try to change the permissions to my user name in the security section it will not allow me to do this - the options are "shaded out". How am I to save the download?

Acrobat 7.0 isn't compatible with Vista, so you don't wanna download it anyway...
<q> Acrobat 7.0 and earlier versions do not support Windows Vista. Adobe does not plan to release updates to Acrobat 7.0 and earlier for Windows Vista compatibility </q>
Can you save any other downloads normally?

As others have mentioned there are known issues with Adobe Acrobat 7 and Windows Vista. In addition, try downloading and saving to a directory OTHER than program files (such as My Documents). The program files directory is protected. When you run an installation program Vista will prompt you to elevate your privileges so that the installation program can write to the program files directory.

Save the file to the C:\Users\username\Documents folder. It can be easily moved from this location to the Program Files folder. The Program Files folder in Vista is protected, especially when a file is downloaded from the internet. Don't change the permissions on the Program Files folder, this could compromise the built-in security and compatibility.
