When exiting Windows after using the Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in to view a pdf file, I get a message that a program called AVToolTipView is busy and I have to press Ctrl-Alt-Del to manually close the program before I can shut down. Does anyone know how to get rid of this problem? I would appreciate any help or ideas.

AVToolTipView anybody?The only thing that is clear is that Acrobat Reader is responsible for the problem. Maybe you need to re-install?

AskWoody LoungerOctober 1, 2003 at 12:15 am #722342Thanks for the info about Acroread from Agent Ransack–I think I’ll download that program for future reference.
I found the same two links on Google, and agree, neither was helpful. I eventually discovered that the file was somehow related to Acrobat Reader.
I’ll try reinstalling Acrobat and see if that helps. -

AskWoody PlusOctober 11, 2003 at 8:16 am #727466When I iuninstalled Acrobat (V5) then nstalled the new Acrobat Reader (V6), and started to have trouble with it, i went into the Adobe folder and found both Acrobat Reader (V5)and Adobe Reader (V6) were in the same folder. I uninstalled both and reinstalled the regular Acrobat Reader (V5), which fixed mine. I did not try to install the reader v6 again.
