I can't believe that, after several years knowing about this problem, Adobe
has still not fixed the ACRORD32 crash that occurs when you try to shut down
Windows. I know it has nothing to do with my particular computer because
this happens on my wife's laptop, my brother's machine, and my machine at
work. I have the latest version of Reader. Adobe offers a page describing
this problem that does nothing to resolve it. So my question is, when will
the company task their developers to actually come up with a fix?

Download Foxit Reader - It's a free download and your problems will be over.

I did this earlier this year and have had zero problems on our machines
running W2K, XP and WinMe

Good Luck!

Who cares about Adobe, dump it and get FoxitReader.

I did and I do not have to have 3rd party software to try to load it faster,
screw around with Adobe Plug-Ins, screw around deleting My eBooks folder, ad
infinitum. Or should that be ad nauseum?

Foxit Reader for Windows

<quote>
Foxit Reader is the only eligible alternative reader/viewer for PDF files
(eBooks). It's smaller, faster, and cleaner. And it's free.

You don't need to go through lengthy installation process to start using
Foxit Reader, just UNZIP the downloaded "foxitreader.zip" package into any
place you want, then run FoxitReader.exe.

You can set Foxit Reader as your default PDF reader, so you can double click
on PDF files to open them within Foxit Reader.

If you want to uninstall Foxit Reader, please remove all Foxit Reader files.
If you want to switch default PDF reader back to your previous reader,
please run the other reader (e.g. Adobe Reader) you have, and set it as the
default reader.

And why are you asking that question here - in a peer to peer XP OS
newsgroup?

Because this affects just about everyone who has WinXP with a "typical"
suite of corporate software. Maybe Microsoft should put this in their
knowledge base. Microsoft will sometimes note the especially bad
third-party crashers in the KB.

My point is that you are not talking to MS here. This is a peer to peer
newsgroup. All the posters are volunteers.

Is this problem still occurring with version 8?

I like Solution 1 in Adobe Knowledge Base:

"Close all open browsers on your computer and wait 5 to
7 minutes".

Heh. Gotta love it!

Well, what did they volunteer for other than help users with their problems?
And having Acrord32 errors in XP (and all other versions of Windows) is a
problem and reduces the utility of the operating system.

Luckily, Foxit has solved this problem.

I am frankly quite surprised that Adobe Customer Relations
allowed such an admission on their web site!
