Hi, 

Im using a Win98 machine with 256MB RAM and have plenty of HD space. 

My problem is that after installing AR5.0.5 and then try and view any PDF file either through the reader or in IE I first get an error message "Plug-in failed to initialize" then I get the "Illegal Operation" error and it quits.  

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but to no effect... other colleagues are having the same problem and AR5.0.1 was also very unreliable. Any ideas on a fix, I need to be able to read PDFs somehow!
