Would you recommend uninstalling 6 first ?

IIRC it still took awhile and stayed loaded afterwards.

That was my experience, also, Rick

If it's a chiropractor, you shouldn't have any problems immediately
afterwards - it's about two days later it hits you! - although you'll
probably feel dog-tired, and thirsty (when it does hit, you'll either feel
wonderful, or bloody awful for a day or two)

If it's an osteopath - well, you'll find out VBEG They seem to come from
two different schools of thought.....
1) no gain without pain
2) "sorry - I didn't hear the phone for the screaming!"
Nah, seriously, they're not too bad, but not as gentle as the chiro's are.

Good Luck!!

FWIW, I just installed a fresh copy of Adobe Reader 6.0.1 fully, under
WinME, and it launched in ca. 57 seconds, loading all available plug-ins,
per the default installation.
I obtained Ver. 1.32 of the Reader Speedup, as described previously, and ran
it using the default configuration/options. Afterwards, the Reader launched
in ca. 1 second, a 98% improvement.!

(My hardware is reasonably modern, very fast: cpu = AMD Barton 2500+ w/ 512
MB PC3200 ram.)

Adobe Reader Speedup
Author : Joseph Cox
Website : http://www.tnk-bootblock.co.uk
To DL the zipped installation file:
http://www.tnk-bootblock.co.uk/getfile.php?id=arsu

IMO, this is a dramatic improvement.

Furthermore, the author states:
"Notice: Since v1.20, ARSU stores unused plugins in the Optional folder of
Acrobat/Reader. This means that
when a PDF is viewed and Acrobat/Reader requires a plugin for full
functionality, it'll be loaded
automatically for that particular PDF only."

and

SUPPORTS
--------
This software supports the speed-up of the following:
(Note: CE, free, and full versions are supported)

Adobe Acrobat 3.0
Adobe Acrobat 4.0
Adobe Acrobat 4.0.5
Adobe Acrobat 5.0
Adobe Acrobat 5.1
Adobe Acrobat 5.5
Adobe Acrobat/Reader 6.0
Adobe Acrobat/Reader 6.0.1
Adobe Acrobat/Reader 6.0.2
Adobe Acrobat/Reader 7.0.0

In other words, any version of the Adobe Acrobat and
Adobe Reader software from 3.0 and upwards should be supported."


N.B. In my hands, the Reader unloaded within 10 seconds after exiting, as
reported by Process Explorer.
It does not remain loaded, as others have reported here.
IMO, this Adobe Reader Speedup utility, V. 1.32, is a helluva nice tool.
Thank you, Mr. Cox.

How did you do this? Even Adobe states it must be installed under 2000/XP.
