| 222500 | 2004-03-14 07:18:00 | Hi doing a google search, checking out wab pages,, and up pops AA and opens.....i decide its not what im looking for, so go to close it, wrong move it seems.... 10 mins later i am back online and puter is now working ok.... what happened was i could open any prog fine, but upon opening anything, it all froze.... i couldnt shut AA and i also could not shut PF1 or any page open....at all everything was getting stuck, had for some reason multiple boxes open, in process of shutting any and everything. logged off and this did not help either just froze, everything went grey. dont know what happened in end but it went blank (blue desk top screen no icons etc) then back to pic...and ran spybot nothing found... i refused access for AA with ZA (zonealarm) do you think this had something to do with it? operator probs or a wobbly thrown by AA????? or the lemon.... are there known issues like this with AA??? i dont like it so dont use it, a lost and confuzzled beetle |

| 222501 | 2004-03-14 07:28:00 | Hi Beetle. Nothing generally wrong with Adobe Acrobat Reader. Millions of people use it regularly as a free download. I send out a regular newsletter to a large group in PDF and have never had a complaint from anyone. Be interested in what caused you the problem. Breath deeply. | Scouse (83) | ||

| 222503 | 2004-03-14 09:34:00 | Were you using Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 with your Firebird browser? There is a known issue for some with the combination of these two programs. Read more here (plugindoc.mozdev.org). You may wish to update Adobe Acrobat Reader to version 6.0.1 which apparently does not have this problem. | Jen C (20) | ||

You can find out your version from opening up the program (should be found on the Start > All Programs menu somewhere), and then going help > about. Since you appear to be affected by the bug, it is probably best to upgrade Adobe Reader if you are going to continue using Firebird You can download Adobe Reader 6.0.1, basic version from here - www.adobe.com ( [url) Reader 6.0.1 — English for Windows, 8.7MB[/url]. But also check out the latest NZ PC World CD (March) as it has Adobe on it as well (not sure if version 6.0.1 or 6.0), but it will save you the download. Make sure you completely uninstall your old Adobe Reader first before installing the new version. |

Absolutely no help to beetle, but the above comment and response reminded me of the story about the blooming young miss who visited her Doctor with the flu. Doc put stethoscope on chest and said "big breaths," at which the young miss blushed & replied: Yeth, and I'm only thixteen. Cheers Billy 8-{) :| Of course I have no idea what she meant |
