conflict between adobe and ME

Has anyone had this problem, I am going to a site that is heavy into PDF
files and I click to retrive the file and adobe sits there. I look at the
file and find it is not a very big file but Adobe acts like it is in a world
of it own and doesn't retreive the file or is very slow doing it. Granted if
it is a large file it would take some time to download, but it does it
randomly. It could be working one minute and the next boom. I am running
Windows ME with 384 RAM (which I can't expand) 20 GB HD and IE 5.5.

Thanks for any advice or solutions

Adobe 6.x sucks.

A workaround I've found is if Acrobat starts to do that, just open up
TaskManager Ctrl-Alt-Del and EndTask Acrobat, then click the link again.

ar-speedup: http://www.tnk-bootblock.co.uk/prods/misc/ is well worth
running.

Meanwhile, displaying .pdfs in IE can be problematic. Better to save the
document than to open it, or r-click the shortcut and do Save Target, than
to d-click it. Or disable the option to view in the browser.

FFx has the same problems with AcroRd as IE; I actually did what you
suggested (took it out of browser display)

I don't think I've ever tried reading a pdf in FFx.

btw I missed the Lanc fly-by over the museum on VE day. The only time (that
I can remember) I saw a flying Lanc, it flew over with the BBMF while I was
on a roof garden where I used to work and the throb was fabulous. I bet it
came over much lower over the museum!

I also missed Angelina Jolie :-(
