My problems began after opening a PDF online and recieving the usual update available stuff. I updated to what I don't know. I think 6.x. After that download selecting a link that was a PDF shut down my IE6. I lived with that for awhile until I really needed a link so I searched for a cause. I tried updating to 7.0.8 and it did the same thing, complete and instant shutdown of IE6. After asking some questions and doing some reading I tried updating to IE7. It caused the same instant crash. I un-installed and re-installed both my IE7 and Acrobat Reader 7.0.8. Same problem. Then after some searching online and on the Adobe website I found an obscure reference to my problem. It said the solve was to do an update while I had the reader open. Can you imagine that this problem exists and they don't let you know when downloading the newest upgrade? Well, since my IE wouldn't open a PDF, I had to find the executable and open it. I did the update and hooray everything seemed fine. IE7 opens the PDF beautifully. But when I choose another tab it instantly shuts down IE. Since downloading 7.0.8 I noticed a dramatic slowdown of my Internet. Sometimes completely stopping browsers and other programs. I opened task manager and discovered that AcroRd32.exe is constantly running and is a memory hog. I hadn't even opened a PDF since rebooting. I uninstalled all Adobe products and now my Internet Explorer has returned to normal and all is well. I'm so sick and tired of troubleshooting this software, myself, that I have now decided to make Adobe an offer: When you test this software in the real world and it actually works and these problems have been completely cleared up, e-mail me and assure me that my specific problems have been solved and I will try again. Otherwise I will gladly do without, FOREVER.
