OK, I tried again from Microsoft, and it's sitting pretty steady on 680KB/s now. Not too shabby :cool:

this method has the added advantage of not requiring a diskette. you just store the result in your mind... (reminds me of the guy who "sent 5000 GIGABYTES in ZERO seconds" or something to that effect... :)) - Indivara

Acrobat Reader has solved this problem for me - kind of. When I click any PDF file, A**Reader starts up and terminates immediately. It works only if I started an A**Reader instance separately without document.
