Adobe Reader failed to read larg files

[san_crazy]

hi friends,

I have installed Adobe Reader8.0 in my friend's PC it got failed reading files of size more than 2MB. first I thought, it must be a fault in software itself but when I analyzed that same setup is working fine in my own PC but not in that then I came to be sure that it must be a system concerned issue.
when I try to open the large files, adobe readers takes too much time to prepare itself for reading pages and ultimately it comes to be hanged.

interestingly, the target PC shows a whole part of its total main memory/RAM.
when I saw, My Computer->Properties->hardware
I did see,  512MB of RAM.

actually that system have a DDR2 SDRAM of 512MB.  but my own system  shows a total of 448MB RAM even though it has DDR2 SDRAM 512MB.

I think some part of the total main memory engaged by video system.


well, whatever the reason is there I am not sure. please you tell me.


thanks in advance.

Try Foxit. I have found it to work better than adobe and its faster.

Where are you getting these RAM #'s from ? ?
And this is probably what it is.

99 times out of 100 the RAM is used for video as Patio said.
