Hi All,
    I have an old  Pentium system that hangs when I open a PDF files. I
reinstall the windows on it but the problem remains and I think it should be
a hardware problem as when I install an ISA VGA card the problem would be
solve but apparently I need a PCI VGA card to have good graphic :(

What is the problem and how I can solve it?

Regards

 It might be that you need a newer version of Acrobat Reader?
 Also, check your graphics card drivers and settings.
 I don't guarantee that this will help, as it's only a suggestion.
 And some ISA graphics cards did quite well...

Also check your pci card manufacturers site for updated drivers.
