A question for the computer literate.

What is AcroRd32.exe and why is it eating all my resources? Seriously, it's using more memory than iTunes.

Rebooting is not necessary if all of the processes spawned by the application can be found and killed. I believe Doug's using XP, which is supposed to have protected memory allocation for things just up this sort of alley.

Just kill the task from the task manager and it should kill all of the child processes.
