Previously, when I connected a USB drive, I would get (what appeared to be a MS Windows) popup that allowed me to select which application to use to view the data on the USB drive (as there are more than one type of data on it).

The title of the pop up is
'USB MEMORY (F:)'.

Below that it says,
'This disk or device contains more than one type of content.
What do you want Windows to do?'

Below that is a box of 7 selections such as,
'Copy pictures to a folder on my computer using Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard'
'View a slideshow of the images using Windows Picture and Fax viewer'
'Play media files using RealPlayer'
'Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer'
'Take no action'

After installing Acrobat Reader 8, now when I plug my USB device in, some Adobe app pops up wanting to do this. How can I disable the Adobe pop up and use the MS one instead?

Thanks in advance.

Or the drive that relates to your USB device, then right click on it and select open or open with, in here you will be able to choose which or how your USB device is opened. Or just open the drive yourself by clicking on it.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
