Yeah, I went back to v5. V6 sucks big time. Way too slow. It also would lock up my browser from time to time. Very irritating.

very slow for me as well, i like 5.
 
6 has been an improvement for me on four machines. Loads faster, performs smoother and has more features than 5.
 
It sounds like quite a few members here are running trash cans for helpers.I personally have found that 6 is faster for me and has a few added feachers I like also, maybe it's my system versus yours on the slow complaints....How ever.....As far as this Post is concerned,it was for the comunity not the penny pinching vultures....🙂HotDeals is were to reach the most in this comunity.........So,if you don't like the post click back and never come back...........

ATOT is the place to really reach the community, not necessarily hd, and its not your opinion that counts when it comes to the rules. 😛

seriously tho, I upgraded to 6 and altho the startup time for the app is slower and it takes more memory and doesn't quit when you quit, its renders MUCH faster, especially for things like the 11mb electronic physics book etc.

Definitely upgrade if you havent imo.

Look what I found on the Inq...
Install Adobe Reader 6 🙂
From the Start->Run windows menu, Open the "x:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader" folder, where x is the right drive letter.
Find the plug_ins folder and rename it plug_ins_disabled
Create a new folder named plug_ins
Copy the following files from "plug_ins_disabled" to "plug_ins": EWH32.api, printme.api, and search.api
I can verify the 2-sec claim.

Did you copy just those 3 files into the new folder? What about all the subfolders in the old plug_ins, did you copy them over too or leave them in the "disabled" folder?

 
I uninstalled the Acrobat 6, heck it's one slow animal.... and especially thru IE... takes for ever....

I just did this. "Copied" just the three files listed, left the subfolders alone. Wow! :Q Major difference!

Thanks ViperV990!
