Dennis - your proposal sounded more like a joke than any posssibly serious explanation to work around an Acrobat persistent crash. But I have confidence in you, so: I launched Acrobat. It crashed as normal. (scientist, verifying his starting assumptions) I followed your instructions about the language sequence swap. I launched Acrobat. No problem. Quit Acrobat. Re-launched Acrobat (scientist confirming his new unexpected observation) No problem. Absolutely the weirdest feeling.......!! IThanks anyway for sharing this effective but very unusual solution. regards, Trevor
