Adobe Reader 8 is freely downloadable from Adobe.com.
I just installed it and opened a PDF (my mobo user manual). It runs fine, but I noticed when I scroll through the pages... Task Manager shows AcroRd32.exe memory usage increasing, finally stopping at 92,300 K. :eek: How much RAM do you have? (only guessing it could have something to do with your problem).
I had a similar problem with AutoCad 2006 and XP SP2. Solution for that problem was to add it the the list of excluded programs for Data Excecution Prevention (System Properties > Advanced > Performance Settings > Data Execution Prevention > Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select. Then Add, and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe).
