Crashes using Acrobat which makes it useless.
Mine doesn't
I view PDF files on the 'net through IE.
I have switched to FireFox and Acrobat is no problem. You might remove it from your system.
Throughly clean & defrag yr system, restart you system, download FF, disconnect from the internet, close everything, then install FireFox and reconnect to internet and do the Firefox update search.
This clean install should make it work. If your system can handle it.
Yeah..its a lot of work, but when you do things right the first time you have a baseline to start from.
I do a clean up every time I shut my system down. Since switching to Firefox the crap left on my computer is almost nil. When using IE I have a lot of crap to clean up.
With a bit of tweaking Firefox is doing a better job with less security hassle. Also I am able to turn off certain security features thast were mandatory with IE.
Not if you use the most current version of Acrobat Reader (v. 6.01?).
I used to use IE, but tired of playing Sherlock Holmes ever time some 13-year-old hacker decided to "exploit" yet another of IE;s security vulnerabilties. For a list of the current wave of security holes, check out this Department of Homeland Security link:

I have had that problem too with FireFox. Acrobat seems to lock it up for some reason.
Speed wise, the two are about the same in my opinion. I can't tell much difference between IE and FF.
All in all, just for spite, I use FF. I have a few little digs with FF, like you have to click enter to go to URL and can't just point your pointer at the enter(Go). Also the Favorites is awkward to navigate (no renaming the faves either).
dittos to the other responses to Acrobat. I have never had a problem with .pdf files.... ever.
