Adoberdr 7 as soon as it comes it freezes & have to close & start over-------z

Your virtual memory might not be able to handle the software's demands. the video card too might share the same problem. better use a reader that also requires less disk space. the adobe acrobat reader version 5 may work well, in case you still want to use and adobe software as it only requires 11.5 MB.

another thing, it would be better if you do a little maintenance tasks on your computer. on the control pane, select performance and maintenance. you can defragment for a few times, "pick a task" such as the "free up space on your hard disk", and the "rearrange items in your hard disk to make programs run faster". these simple steps might take a lot of time but will surely lessen the glitches one can have while using the pc especially on important occasions such as reading pdf files.

all the best!

I would uninstall that and use FoxIt Reader....much faster. I switched a couple weeks ago, no issues yet. It is a 5MB install compared to adobes 50MB....just to read pdfs.

You can get it here.
