Hi Trish & Rich, This you will have to ask your Internet Provider. If you set it at something like 512 KBPs you should be okay but, ask your provider anyways to be on the safe side. The number i mentioned is if your internet service is not a dial-up connection. If you service is a dial-up service then you would want a much slower speed, like 56 or 112 KBPS. Take care.

Do the following: 1. From either your desktop or start menu, press enter on Adobe. The Adobe window is now open, press control + K, to open preferences. Another way to get to preferences is after pressing enter on the Adobe shortcut, press Alt + E, for the edit menu, arrow up to preferences, & press enter. 3. When preferences opens you will be in a tree view and should be on the General page, if not arrow up or down until you have General highlighted. It is #4 of 29. Tab until you find a checkbox called enable protected mode at startup, uncheck it, choose yes on the warning you will get to continue. You need to look at 2 more settings so, tab until you have General highlighted again. 4. With General highlighted, press the letter I, until you have Internet highlighted. 5. Tab to, Display PDF in browser, if this box is checked press the spacebar to uncheck it. 6. Tab to connection speed combobox, arrow up / down for the setting that best matches your Internet Providers speed. 7. Tab to the okay button, press enter to close preferences & save your changes, & press Alt + F4 to close Adobe. If I have missed something or if there is something that should be added, would someone please jump in & correct me?! Take care.
