Well this is some sh*t, I have tried everything including restoring my computer back to May 2nd right after a new install and before any adobe files were installed on my computer. I am doing all my testing now with the pdf files on adobes site, so they sould be fine. But evrytime I try to load one of their pdf's my browser hangs and cpu usage goes to 100% (+-50% to acread and +-50% to iexplorer) and this is on a 2.8C hyperthread cpu with 1gig PC3700. have to ctrlaltdel and end tasks to get out of it.:|:disgust::frown:

Comment... ""I had an error with adobe acrobat that hung the application everytime I tried to open acrobat. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling acrobat, installing over the original, nothing worked. However, I uninstalled adobe acrobat and then deleted the adobe acrobat folder in program files/adobe folder. Then I rebooted and installed acrobat and all was working again.""
