Here is the gist of what people had to say. I received some of this advice
from more than one person, but this wraps it up. Thanks again for the
guidance.
Thx, Albert

Albert,
Make sure you have downloaded and installed the full version of Adobe Reader
6.0 and not the short version. You can download the files and read
information
about Adobe Reader in HTML format at
http://access.adobe.com/.
Also Adobe Reader seems to need a lot of memory when simultaneously running
a screen reader, Internet Explorer, and either Windows XP or Windows 2000.
You'll probably need at least 256 Megs of RAM. Most pop-up blockers will
also interfere with Adobe Reader.
