Why does my laptop keep "freezing" - Completed thanks to all who helped me.

Has this fixed the problem Lizzie? I ask because I use Foxit for its free PDF facilities and it has given be no trouble whatsoever since I installed it on this laptop 3 years ago.

I don't know Roger, I've not used my old laptop to search other websites.  I'll give it a go next week and let you know.  For interest, on this new laptop I've installed a pdf reader called Sumatra which is also free and had good reports.

Thanks Lizzie, I'll bear that in mind if I have any bother with Foxit.Does it allow you to edit and  creat PDFs?

[LizzieW]

No, it's read only but that's what I want most of the time.  I've still got Adobe if I really want to get creative, but I doubt I ever will.

I've got Sumatra pinned to my desktop bar and what I have found useful is that if I click on it, it shows the last few pdf files I've read, so it saves me having to go searching for them to check something.

Thanks for that Lizzie.
