I am having a problem with Adobe Reader 7. When a user opens a PDF file with Internet Explorer, you can clearly see the AcroRd32.exe running in Windows Task Manager; but it doesn�t end itself when you close the Internet Explorer unless you start the Adobe Reader program and then close it. So when the user tries to log off or Shutdown/Restart the Windows, a window pops up �End Program � Adobe Acrobat�, the system will not continue to log off or shutdown until you click on End Now to end the program; the same time there will be a �DWWIN.exe �DLL initialization failed� error. This has cause a major problem in my computer labs. I have an auto-logoff screensaver running for all computers so that the system will log off the users automatically after certain idle time. It�s been working fine until I upgraded the Adobe Reader to 7. Because users usually click the Log Off button and then just leave without waiting for computer logs off completely, my auto-logoff screensaver will just hang there with a DLL initialization error; only thing I could do is to power it off if that happens. I see similar complains in APPDeploy.com <http://appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=211> but it doesn�t seem they have a real solution there. I�d really appreciate any help from any body. Thank you in advanced. Ming Z. Brown University
