Can't open PDF files
Hi,
I have the following problem: When I am on the internet and I click on a pdf file it will not open. The reaction that I get is a new window and a triangle in the left top corner, acrobat splashscreen doesn't start as it used to. It used to work and for an, unknown reason to me, it stopped working. I can download the PDF file and open it with explorer. I am using Windows ME. I tried several times to deinstall and reinstall acrobat reader but that doesn't help. Anyone any suggestions? I'm thinking myself about a registry setting but I do not know which one. Help Please... TIA Q. -- Posted by news://news.nb.nu

Can't open PDF files
Best bet is to get rid of Acrobat Reader - and install Foxit instead!
it's a lot quicker to respond, and uses a lot less resources. www.foxitsoftware.com -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Question" wrote in message ...
