When I click a PDF link it freezes mt computer, when I hit "save target as" it downloads it with no problem. Any idea why, it just started after I upgraded to 7 reader |

I had all kinds of problems with the Acrobat 7.x readers. Version 8 is the first decent one Adobe has put out in years. If it locks up, bring up Task Manager and kill the AcroRd32.exe tasks. I found that it worked much better if I copied PDFs to my local drive, started Acrobat, then opened the files from within the application. You can also drag and drop a PDF file onto a running Acrobat reader. Best bet IMO is to uninstall every Acrobat reader you have, boot the machine, and install version 8. |
Dude, you duped yourself!  www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=547827&page=1� |
Open the system Registry (with regedit.exe or regedt32.exe), search for the file name, and clean up the Most Recently Used (OpenSaveMRU) list for PDF files. This will probably be under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU\pdf Or you could just ignore it.

Yeah mine was an accident as your double post is in purpose, whats you excuse? LOL |

If the server hosting the docs is using HTTP compression Acrobat reader will choke. Its is a known issue that Adobe has known about for over a year and won't fix. If you have control of the server turn of HTTp compression for .pdf docs. You can bring up the task manager and kill the process - it is probably using 100% of your CPU. |
Mimicry? |
I've had the same problem so I took your advice. I should be able to report success/failure shortly after it gets done installing. Thanks, Merlin ETA: WOW! I just opened the '85 Toyota FSM at 57.8 MB and talk about lightening fast! Thanks! Merlin |
