OK, once again the Shop Talk Group came thru and saved the day!
Not only did the garage doors get fixed (they are both 13 year old
doors that over time had lost their adjustment and were "bouncing" or
hitting bottom and reversing. The down travel limit was out of
adjustment. While fixing the first door and at the same exact time, the
travel shoe that the chain is connected to, decided it also needed
adjustment (it was jammed against a stop bolt) and that delay the
speedy task of adjustment.
Also, in trying to download a PDF manual for the opener, my Adobe
Reader decided to die. I downloaded a replacement 3 or 4 times,
completely deleted the old Adobe Reader, etc., all to no avail.
Finally I tried the Foxit PDF Reader. It download and went to work
immediately! Another tribute to the Shop Talk members.
Have a great weekend!
Go Seahawks!

| Steve,
|
| Going to Control panel will let you set associations. There are other
ways
| also. BUT, if you don't had a PDF reader loaded, you won't be able to
| open the file. In other words, you can associate say a PDF file to be
| opened with say Notepad. But Notepad, doesn't understand the data
contained
| in the PDF file and wont display the file.
|
| You'll need a PDF reader first. Yesterday, someone mentioned getting
the
| Foxit_PDF_Reader22. I got a copy from:
|
| http://www.download.com/Foxit-PDF-Reader/3000-2079_4-10313206.html
|
| It is truely great! The new Adobie Reader is so fat it's rediculous.
|
| Regardless of what PDF reader you download (Adobie's or the Foxit one)
| both should make the association for you automatically. If it doesn't
| then you'll need to make the association yourself.
