Glitch in Adobe Reader 7 Error message 0x2d864aa2

I recently updated to Adobe Reader 7 and got the following error messages when trying to download a .pdf file from the internet (this appeared to apply to larger files since some smaller .pdf files were downloaded without problem):

"The instruction at "0x2d864aa2" referenced memory at "0x00000008". The
memory could not be "read".


or (in German)

"Die Anweisung in "0x2d864aa2" verweist auf Speicher in "0x00000008". Der Vorgang "read" konnte nicht auf dem Speicher durchgeführt werden."

This error did not (and apparently does not) occur under previous Adobe Reader versions.

The solution is found here where it is suggested that one should uncheck the Edit/Preferences box in Adobe Reader that reads "Display PDF in browser".

After removing the check, the PDF files download normally - but IN THE BROWSER, even though this feature was now theoretically disabled.

Go figure.

The primary hypothesis of Stars Stones and Scholars is that the megaliths represent ancient surveys of the earth by astronomy, and that these feats of ancient surveying and of ancient surveyors can be reconstructed. The megaliths were, so to speak, ancient border stones, sighted by astronomy.

Additionally, the book Stars Stones and Scholars shows that megaliths and megalithic sites are also fabulous works of ancient art, which greatly expand our understanding of so-called prehistoric art and human civilization. Speaking of civilization, there is an affiliated list related to the megalithic subjects of this book and related topics at History of Civilization.
