Well, probably NOT supposed to say that am I? I've been trying to straighten the mess out for 2 weeks since upgrading to Acrobat Reader 5.1. Every time I try to save a file the progress line shows completed but the computer freezes. Have walked away to see if the computer will finish if I don't click anything - I give up! Posted question on their forum and never got a response.
Wonderful surprise to find you! If I delete the reader and come back here for the 4.0 version will I be better off? Someone posted it wasn't the full version but not sure what he meant.

I've heard that Acrobat Reader 5.1 and up is kind of buggy. I use 5.0. The only obvious bug it has is that it is incredibly slow with internet links. It'll wait about 3-5 seconds before going anywhere after clicking a link. I've use 4.0. It seems to be the best one, IMO.

THANK YOU!
~ I've cleaned out (most) of 5.1 and reinstalled your 4.0 version...worked like a charm. I NEVER had problems with this version before so what ever I was thinking upgrading I'll never know! I'll remember to check here first to see what people are saying about a program before I upgrade anything anytime soon!
(Is it safe to right click/ delete files in a folder I found of the 5.1 version that uninstalling missed or am I better off just leaving it alone?)

It should be safe as long as you KNOW that 4.0 isn't using them. But, as I like to say: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I don't know why you would want to use v4.0 over v5.0, but v4.0 should work. Just keep in mind, some PDF files may require v5.0 or higher. Most require v4.0 or higher (older PDF files would require v3.0 or higher).

I would NOT use v3.0 or lower on Windows 200/XP.

I'm running Windows 98 SE and Acrobat Reader 5.1.

4.0 does work with Windows XP Home. That is the version I use, just because I have easy accesibility to it and it does everything I need it to do.

Since version 2 is not very fuctional which would be more so version 3 or 4?

For Acrobat Reader, version 5 is listed as current.
Actually, version 5.1 is the current version.

I use 3 and have had no problems with it .

BUTTTTTT I do not use it very heavily. It loads fast and uses lite memory.
