Hello,

I'm using a Windows XP Pro SP2 box with IE7 & Acrobat 6 Pro.
When click on a link on a website to open a PDF, IE7 states it's done
opening it but nothing shows. I tested the link using another computer to
confirm the link works. Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks....

Try uninstalling/reinstalling Adobe Acrobat. This program has caused me numerous problems in the past and
this is generally the solution.

Thanks but I tried that already.

Uninstall all versions of Adobe (Acrobat) Reader and then either install the
newest version from Adobe or install Foxit:
