w500 trouble while reading pdf file

Hello,

 

I have just reinstalled windows7 on my w500 with a video card of 5700. However something weird happened. When I'm reading online pdf files, I can't get correct click on any botton such as 'save' or 'print', seems like it's a little bit off from the real point I clikced and the point recognized by the computer. Could anyone have any suggestions for me?

 

Thanks

Try using Foxit reader and don't tick 'open in browser'

Hi,

 

Thanks for your response... but Adobe did work before and I really want to try to figure out what problem it is...

 

Thanks

Adobe acrobat sucks that's pretty much the jist of it. 
It's a slow, resource hogging crash addict in my experience. 

Plus it's a good idea to never view PDF files inside a browser.

Eh... Foxit was good, not so much anymore. SumatraPDF's the way to go.

I will give it a go, apart from unticking the BS they try to bundle now with foxit. It's still running good for me but I will try sumatra.

Thanks for your advise. I tried other reader it works. But still, some display problem is there, seems like under certain condition (such as install pop up or something), it will show really low resolution... which never appeared before... really want to know why is it...

I tried both IE and Firefox... either of them worked

Do you have DPI scaling enabled?
