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.

I forgot to add this. Whenever I log onto my Chase on-line credit card account the same blank Reader window opens. This is a fairly new account. Just another clue for somebody. Brian.

Have been troubleshooting Installed the free Foxit pdf reader and made it the default program the pdf files worked just as they were supposed to. this to me indicates somthing wrong with the Adobe prgram Signed onto the Chase account with IE6, Adobe blank page reader program still opens. Tried the same thing using Firefox 3.0. No pdf showed up. Therefore some (BAD)connection between IE6 and Adobe Reader 8.1.3 No more investigating until I get some expert advice. Brian.

I guess all of my problems are solved. My Chase logon with IE6 (and Reader page appearing) has been fixed I think I know why. I had previously uninstalled Adobe Reader 8.1.3. So I am Adobe-less, but one Happy Camper!! Lets have 3 cheers for Foxit PDF Reader!!! Sincerely, Brian.
