Adobe Acrobat problem - resolved
Posted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 8:09 pm
In case someone else gets bit.
Adobe Acrobat 6.0 would hang on the splash screen with a 'hangb1' error when starting. Great, what has happened now I think.
I appears that it creates many temp files and does not delete them. So over a period of 5 months, with not really heavy usage, it has created over 65,000 of these temp files.
They have a name like ???#### where the ??? are letters and the #### appears to be hex. I am guessing it is designed to go up through FFFF, which would be a value of 2^16.
Sure enough, the last file is named ???FFFF. Deleted these files and the program starts working again.
