Hi Phil, Have had much the same results. Often it seems to occur when accessing Adobe through Internet Explorer. Rarer, but still occurs, when I start Acrobat and directly access a pdf file.

I can Alt-Tab to other programs, minimize all apps, and generally move around windows, but the system is extremely sluggish. When this happens I close Adobe with an Alt F4 or some other method and then get the system message "this program is not responding " etcetera and I opt to "end task" and at that point the system returns to normal. It often happens when I use the Control-F search window from adobe, and often when I use the jaws cursor. I can't detect any reliable pattern as to when or why it happens. I'm about to go into the preferences dialogs and see if there is a setting that jumps out at me, and if anyone has had this or a similar problem with adobe please let me know.
