Default Does anyone else's COMPUTER Lock-up when you try to view STEERIODS???

I have tried this website to look at the installation instructions and no matter what machine I use, they all lock-up after a few seconds of scrolling down the page!anhttp://www.speeddirect.com/downloads/install/Steeroids_corvette_install.pdf

I was able to sucessfully load the page and start viewing it, but after scrolling down a bit, it crashed the internet explorer and the window went away. So, I right clicked on the link and did a save link as... and just saved the PDF to My Documents folder. There I was able to open it and read the whole thing without a problem.
There must be something goofy in the PDF to make it act like that while running under IE. Then again it is probably an IE problem.
