Adobe Reader version 7 out

I'm not sure - I uninstalled it - reinstalled it, and did not get the warning the 2nd time. I don't see anything running. What threw me was a program I have called startup monitor warned me something was being registered to startup. Whatever it was does not seem to stay resident though. So it is all good. . .

I use Mike Lin's Startup Monitor, too. My guess is that the warning had to do with a run once option being used by the setup procedure to replace files currently in use (or to write to the registry) the next time the system reboots.
 
Does it still have the zombie? You know, you open a .pdf from within your browser, read it, the hit back or otherwise close it to go back to surfing, and AcroRd32.exe is still running, taking 30+MB of memory?

It doesn't seem to be doing that on my system, but I've only tried it with one PDF file so far. Very impressed with the startup speed increase, though.
 
bump. so much faster than the old one. I hated having to wait like 30 seconds for the old one to open up.

<----- 1600+ XP

New one is about 4-5 seconds.
 
Not sure if it's the Acrobat Speedup utility I had installed for v6 still sticking around or what but it's definitely faster.
 
lookie what we found here... in the Start --> Programs --> Startup... "Adobe Reader Speed Launch" ... which points to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\reader_sl.exe

Looks like they got their own speedup utility in there at the cost of some windows startup time.
