cannot get downloads to stay even when they say successful.

I am replying to your initial message so that you may remove your email address from your last one, should you wish to do so (you cannot edit a message of yours after it has been answered).

For Download & Installation help, this Adobe FAQ might have some useful links to get help.

Good luck,

Hunt
