Why? In order for us to answer, it is important you provide as much detail as possible. What version of Adobe Reader? Does this happen when you run it as a standalone or as a browser plugin? If the latter, which browser/version are you running? It's possible you may need to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Reader. If this is the case, I would install AdbeRdr810_en_US.exe found at: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.1/enu/ Other information that might be useful: Make and model of your PC Type and speed of your CPU Amount of RAM Size of hard drive and amount of free space
Guest Gerry Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Re: adobe reader Please confirm that you are referring to the freeware Adobe Acrobat Reader, which commonly offered for download on many web sites. There are more sophisticated versions you can purchase. What do you use Adobe Reader for? Is it it restricted to reading and printing off documents or do you also edit PDF documents? Do you leave your computer on 24/7? Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak? How large is your hard disk and how much free space. Right click on your C drive in Windows and select Properties to get this information. How much RAM memory? What is your processor speed? -- Hope this helps.

Either your chosen "adobe reader" is damaged and needs to be removed and reinstalled, or the files you're trying to read are hopelessly corrupted. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. -Bertrand Russell

Why? Because you're a moron. Evidence of that: you can't provide info that would help someone who is NOT at your keyboard help you figure out your problem. But since you're a moron, you probably wouldn't understand.

Guest Gerry Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Re: adobe reader That's my preferred alternative. Much less demanding of memory and CPU than Adobe! -- Hope this helps.
