I entered one with the my question but I certainly can get more. PDF reader is Adobe Reader v 10.1.1 I'll try the Norton Toolbar disable and see how that works before submitting a bunch of crash reports.

Thanks.

I've disabled Norton Toolbar 2011.7.2.3 and will see how it goes.

Thanks.

Have the crashes stopped?

Crashes appear to have gone away with Norton disabled. Much better! Thanks again.
