A file with a .ps suffix is a Postscript file. If you open it with a text editor, you can see it's kind of like a program telling the Postscript interpreter in the printer where to put the marks on the page.

Adobe Reader can't open these files. You need to send it through a PDF printer emulator to get a PDF file, which is the type of file Adobe Reader is designed to read.

There are free PDF printer emulator programs available. The one I use most often is called PDF Creator.

post script viewer is already installed on the system
So please explain your question again. If you have a program that can open a .ps file and render it for viewing, why were you opening it with Acrobat Reader?
