The first thing I did was associate the pdf files with acrobat reader. The
problem was some of the Acrobat files in the plug_ins folder were missing.
I'm still unsure about using the free Acrobat 6.0 reader with my version of
Acrobat 5.0.5. IE still loads the 5.0 and not the 6.0 reader. Any ideas on
how to configure IE, so I can tell it which application to load.
TIA,
Pete
