Hi all

Is there a known problem when trying to view pdf files within IE6 ?
I'm using the latest version of Acrobat Reader, up-to-date IE6 / WINXP
updates.

When I click on a webpage that is shown as a pdf I get the Acrobat
splash screen, Acrobat hogs 70-80% of cpu time for a couple of minutes
and then IE grabs 90% + of the cpu time....

This situation is happening at the moment - and I've just noticed (in
Task manager) that multiple copies of AcroRd32 are being spawned -
six of the perishers at last count....

What's going on ????

Thanks

Take a look at the user forum for Acrobat on the
adobe.com website. There are a number of people that have
experienced this problem (myself included) and there is a
fix posted there that involves deleting a registry key.
It worked for me!
