    Default IE 6 randomly freezes when opening a PDF with Reader 6

    Versions: Windows XP Pro and Win 2000, Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106, and Adobe Reader 6.0...

    Reader Preference: Internet / Display PDF In Browser is checked...

    Problem: 90%+ of the time PDFs open fine. Randomly a PDF will not open, instead the page is completely blank - no toolbars, no error messgaes. After a short period Task Manager shows the Internet Explorer task's status as "Not Responding" and it must be stopped via Task Manager. Once this problem happens it will continue until the AcroRd32.exe process is stopped (i.e. no longer listed under Task Manager / Processes tab). After this process ends, the same PDF that failed will work fine.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
