Default Adobe Acrobat Reader becomes compute bound

Version 5 is far superior to Ver 6. It usues terminology like Display in =
IE or something. I found it in 6 in 10 secs when I installed 6 (and =
reverted to 5 a day or two later as 6 is a DOG). Look on your menus.

Sometimes, when I try to exit out of a PDF document from a web =

Any idea what is going wrong, and how I can make Acrobat stop =

Thanks!

No doubt that 6 is a total dog, and I'd love to download 5, but it's no
longer available from the Adobe site. Any thoughts?
