SP2 annoyance
When ever I want to view things like .PDF (among many other things) the
browser blocks it. They (Microsoft) tell me how to get rid of these constant blocks and I've followed their directions but the browser still blocks the simplest stuff like .PDF. Even after following their directions. Is there a setting I can change to make the browser leave me alone and stop these constant blockings? At least on the simple stuff like PDF's. I have another computer with SP1 and this never happens. It only happens on the SP2 machine. Thanks. IS |

SP2 annoyance
Msoft added this to SP2 Internet Explorer to try and prevent bogus trojans
etc. and bad Active X runing without your knowledge...basically added to protect most of the less knowledgable users. The fact is that if people had up-to-date anti virul etc. etc. it wouldn't be needed but we all know that and its a waste of time moaning about it. I changed my brower from IE6 to Mozilla Firefox 1.0 - which I have to say that, now I'm use to the small different bits works very well. Have a look he http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ - by no means am I saying IE6 is bad but I just find Mozilla a better browser for experience surfers. Hope this helps - please let me know by rating this thread. "IS" wrote: When ever I want to view things like .PDF (among many other things) the browser blocks it.
