This occurs with W2k and XP but not with ME.

2 computers Hp pavilion and Intel Desktop Boards both 2000 vintage

I have single click to open and hover to highlight and underline

Every other icon works as it should but not the Reader icon

This has been going on for about 6 months now

It is frustrating because right clicking and closing the program from the

task bar will close it, but because the icon remains selected (highlighted)

it will re-open the blank page(repeat)within 1 second of closing.

I am forced to IMMEDIATELY click another icon (thus opening another

program, eg text document) to get Reader to stay closed.

I have tried repairing, uninstalling, reinstalling, trying different

versions of Reader, but so far no luck on these 2 systems. Windows ME

seems to be OK.

Could it be a graphics card issue? I just deleted Flash player 10 and

guess what, it solved the problem. ( I had also emptied the Tray of programs)

However on an immediate reboot the system went into an auto disk check and

stated that it had corrected something that was wrong.

I immediately went to the same reader icon and the problem has returned as

before. Ideas Anyone?

Thank you, Brian.
