[QUOTE="Zulithe, post: 1282702, member: 4708"] Hey, come on! Google is still your friend and still a very valid resource. But I don't need google to answer your question... OpenOffice is an excellent word processor, it can both read and save to PDF format. It is rather large if you are ONLY looking for a reader, but it is handy. I would recommend it, especially for the other features it has. [url]www.openoffice.org[/url] Secondly, I would recommend you try a few things before you drop Acrobat for good. Download the latest 6.01 version of Adobe Acrobat from [url]www.adobe.com[/url]. Make sure you uninstall your current version first. I don't see how this could be video card related... but maybe you SHOULD consider getting the latest video drivers if the problem pops up (especially in other programs) [url]www.nvidia.com[/url] has what you need. Here is a tip to get Adobe Acrobat loading/closing faster and maybe it will help. Navite to your C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader folder (or whatever drive it happens to be on) in it you will see a folder called plug_ins. rename it to plug_ins_old or some other name. create a new plug_ins folder. copy the files named 'EWH32.api', 'printme.api' and 'Search.api' from the old folder and place them in your newly created plug_ins folder. now Acrobat will work much faster.
