Hi! After an extensive search on several NGs, I found two others with the
same problem but no one with a solution. Here's one axample:
This one is ironic. Whenever Acrobat (I have version 5.0) or the Reader
loads, it kills my internet connection. I run Windows 98 SE and use a
one-way cable modem with dynamic IP address. My ISP tech support had never
seen this one before, but they did help me figure out that, for some reason,
when Acrobat (or Reader) loads, my PC forgets the IP address it has been
assigned. I have to reboot to get another one. This is amazingly annoying
since I generally want to be online while using these products, either
reading PDF files or checking out ones I have posted.

This is a wild shot in the dark, but... Search your hard disk for a file
named AOM.exe. Either delete it or rename it to aom.bak and see if the
problem goes away.
I've deleted the above mentioned file but it makes no difference. What
ecould be causing this? I'm using WinME and a DSL pppoe internet connection.
Thanks a heap!!
