PDF files will not open properly
Have you /never/ been able to read pdf files?
If you have never been able to read files, the reason is that you have not installed a pdf reader. While Adobe Reader is well known, many of us in this group prefer Foxit Reader for its lighter weight. If you were previously able to read pdf files, uninstall your current pdf reader software, restart your computer, then download and install the current version of your favorite pdf reader. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Robersabel wrote: Right clickopen or double click pdf file, I receive the following: Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view this file.

Hello,
** Solution 1 ** Try running IE8 with add-ons disabled. First ensure that all instances of IEXPLORE.EXE are ended in Task Manager (press Ctrl+Shift+Esc on your keyboard, processes tab, end process all IEXPLORE.EXE). Go to Start Programs Accessories System Tools Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) to start IE8 without any add-ons. Try using the browser and see if it works now. If it is works now, start IE8 normally, go to Tools (if the menu bar does not appear, hit the Alt key on the keyboard) Manage Add-ons. Here, disable all the add-ons you don't need under 'Currently Loaded'. Enable each add-on one at each time, restart and see if the problem occurs again. Once it occurs again after enabling an add-on, you have nailed the culprit. ** Solution 2 ** In addition to the above, you can try disabling IE8's memory protection and see if it helps. Start Control Panel Internet Options Advanced under 'Security', uncheck 'Enable memory protection to help mitigate online attacks' OK ** Otherwise ** Otherwise you can use the free Microsoft Phone Support for IE8 (see under 'for consumers') http://www.microsoft.com/windows/int...t/call-us.aspx quote: Free phone support for Internet Explorer 8 is limited to installation, set-up and usage only. Advanced issues are not supported. Advanced issues include problems that are associated with software and hardware development, network connectivity, server-based technologies, and business-critical systems.

Download and install the latest version of Adobe Reader: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ Or Foxit Reader: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ Or any other PDF reading application of your choice. *Note* - Windows XP does not have (never did) a native way to read PDF files. You have to have a third party application installed. Most of the readers (all?) are free - it's when you choose to change to editing/creating that things get mixed (freeware, cost, etc.) I give you the above advice *whether or not* you already have a version of a PDF reading application installed.
