I took a beat to wonder if there was a similar expression that was British and, though I have seen every Bond film made, I couldn't think of one. Any suggestions? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/adobe-reader-not-working-in-ie7-or-chrome#post-78710 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 23:47:22 +0000 Justin 78710@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@LH: Well <a href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19980420/ai_n14158862">that article</a> you linked to would certainly explain this:<br /> [ Should be video of Seattle, WA December 2008 bus crash with three buses but I couldn't find it ] </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/adobe-reader-not-working-in-ie7-or-chrome#post-78706 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 23:43:00 +0000 LH 78706@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminate_with_extreme_prejudice" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminate_with_extreme_prejudice</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/adobe-reader-not-working-in-ie7-or-chrome#post-78703 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 23:38:40 +0000 Scott 78703@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Terminate, with extreme prejudice</p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><br /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q8uKNNJPf2k&#38;hl=en&#38;fs=1&#38;ap=%2526fmt%3D18"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q8uKNNJPf2k&#38;hl=en&#38;fs=1&#38;ap=%2526fmt%3D18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>(look for Harrison Ford) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/adobe-reader-not-working-in-ie7-or-chrome#post-78696 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:52:04 +0000 LH 78696@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p><a href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19980420/ai_n14158862" rel="nofollow">http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19980420/ai_n14158862</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/adobe-reader-not-working-in-ie7-or-chrome#post-78695 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:49:04 +0000 Aleeve 78695@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Haha<br /> I do get the general idea that Reader is hated in most places I look!</p> <p>Nope - very rarely actually have pdf files downlaoded, I just use it as an online pdf file viewer - most frequently the bus timetables :P</p> <p>Also, I think you mean 'discrimination'<br /> Prejudice = An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts.<br /> <code>Discrimination</code> = Putting prejudice into practice</p> <p>:D </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/adobe-reader-not-working-in-ie7-or-chrome#post-78688 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:16:37 +0000 ScottW 78688@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>You should uninstall Adobe Reader with extreme prejudice!</p> <p>The only caveat would be if you are in love with viewing document previews in the Preview Pane in Explorer.

Especially since Scott had suggested I switch about a year ago, but I never got to it with my "old" system.</p> <p>Aleeve, Foxit is really nice and has a lot smaller footprint than Adobe - and maybe not all those constant updates that Adobe was bothering me with. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/adobe-reader-not-working-in-ie7-or-chrome#post-78639 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 16:31:58 +0000 ScottW 78639@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I have an idea -- dump Adobe Reader and get FoxIt Reader. I made the switch just recently and now I wonder why I put up with Adobe Reader for so long.</p> <p>You could also try PFD XChange. Both are small and available in a portable version (no installer). FoxIt has a Firefox plugin, if that's your thing. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/adobe-reader-not-working-in-ie7-or-chrome#post-78609 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 08:16:14 +0000 Aleeve 78609@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Have tried different pdf files to open<br /> Different browsers (as you can see)<br /> Version 8.1.2<br /> Version 9<br /> Version 9.1</p> <p>Nothing works any more!<br /> Oh yes - and system restore to two different points when it was working<br /> Any ideas? </p>
