hmm, i'm not quiet sure - up to now Mira is the only one who had this 
problem. In addition, if Acrobat can't handle the "run" feature, it 
should react an other way than freezing.

Mira, can you tell me the exact version number of the reader you're 
using? You should get it by opening the menu 'Help' -> 'About Adobe 
Reader' and it should look like 'Version 7.0.x 03/16/2006' - so i could 
try to rebuild this situation.

Nope - i've sent Mira a copy of my local install.pdf, which produced the 
same misbehaviour.

Have a nice weekend - Thomas
