I’m still trying to limp along here – forestalling the inevitable wipe and reinstall. one of my biggest problems is the fact that I can’t get the freaking Acrobat reader to work. I’ve never really liked it anyway; it seems quite bloated and slow.

Checking around, the freeware Foxit reader looks pretty promising. It’s highly rated on C/Net. Does anyone here have any personal experience? Any gems of wisdom to offer? I’m particularly curious as to if installation automatically changes your linkages, so Foxit becomes your default reader?

Update: Typical BS – It downloaded and installed just fine, and seems to work well (and MUCH faster than Acrobat), but only with MSIE! Firefox still wants to use Acrobat. I’m going to go chew on my fingernails for a while. GRRRRRR!
