Hello,

Every time I use the PDF plugin to read a pdf file on a website, and it has
pictures in it, the pictures always have distorted colors, like you are on
LSD or something. but, i'm a drug -free individual, so what's with IE6
....? or, what's with PDF?

or, even, what's with LSD?

:)
 
i thought, "maybe display issue", but I tried Firefox, plugin loaded,
downloaded the PDF in question, colors are fine.
i'm using an older Acrobat Reader (4), but when I load the saved PDF locally
in AR, it's fine. It seems just the IE plugin that's a problem. Everyone
says upgrade to the latest AR, but I notice that all these wonderful free
utilities get larger and larger all the time, and also install all kinds of
unwanted extentions on your computer. like who needs more bloatware than
we already have, right?

btw, i'm running a legal copy of XP, but everytime i upgrade XP and/or IE6
it gets buggier and more unpredictable. like program freezing. like taking
10 seconds to "exit" from program. Like taking 20 seconds to start IE6 or
explorer. like taking 3 min to shut down windows instead of 20 seconds it
took originally. and on and on.
