Acrobat Reader - I upgraded to free Acrobat Reader 6.0 last week. I still use netscape 4.79 (and ie 6.0 - works fine on 6.0)
and i couldn't open adobe pdf files with the 6.0. so i removed 6.0, still couldn't open with my old 5.0, removed that too, tried to re-install 5.0 or 5.05, and couldln't find where to download it. finally reloaded 5.05 but 6.0 loaded and all works fine. weird. larry

Ally, your ISP's statement is far too general. >XP computers are crashing because of virus attacks<

If an XP pc is well protected it won't be affected by viruses.

As a first step you can run a complete virus check [after making sure you have the latest virus defintiions]. I would also recommend a software firewall, like Zone Alarm.
