[Spridgets] No LBC - Adobe download fail

[WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com]

Hi list,
 
A while back I had to install a new hard drive in my wife's PC.  So, I  
also had to install the software from scratch.  I don't think she ever had  
Adobe reader on it before but needs it now.
 
Her PC has XP and when I try to download Adobe reader everything goes ok  
until running the exe file when I get a message at 33% saying a metadata file 
 failed.  Having had a series of repeat failures I gave up.
 
So, I thought I'd download Adobe for XP on my PC and then copy it across on 
 a USB memory stick.  But guess what despite my telling the Adobe download  
page I want XP etc, etc it prompts me to download.  When it prompts me the  
2nd time it then reverts to Windows 7 which is what my PC is, despite my 
having  already told it I want XP.
 
So, anyone have an install copy of Adobe for XP (I guess it won't be the  
English version) someone can e-mail me as an attachment (I guess within 
whatever  the max size AOL will accept) so I can put it on my wife's PC?  Or, 
does  anyone have any alternative ideas (like burn it to a disc for me?).
 
Thanks
