Adobe Acrobat (white screen)

[Alan]

Very often when I view a pdf file with Adobe Acrobat the
entire screen will turn white and my browser will freeze.
Does anyone know what I can do to prevent this. Thanks

Many PDF files are very large and may time to load before displaying in the
browser. If the file has difficulty displaying in the browser, you can
simply right click the link to the PDF file and select Save Target As to
download the file to the hard drive. From there, double click the file to
open it in Acrobat Reader.

Contact Adobe. It is NOT a Microsoft product.

Last night I thought IE had crashed, it wouldn't refresh the screen,
it wouldn't minimize, etc, etc. all waiting for what turned out to be
a huge pdf oozing over here from Dell's support site, no clue how
long it was going to take. Finally it finished and woke up IE.

Anyone seen a little gadget that could be added to the toolbar of IE
to show the current transfer rate for cases just like this? The
progress indicator for IE disappears while waiting for acrobat files
to ooze across the net.

Back in Win98 I could create the world's tiniest window for System
Monitor, just big enough to show the transfer rate number, but that
doesn't seem to be an option for XP.
