Explorer won't open PDF files.

Hey All,
I am using windows Explorer 6.0.2 and when I try to open a pdf file, the only thing I get is a small multi color box in the upper lefthand corner of the new window. Does anybody have a suggestion on what setting needs to be changed?

In IE's Internet Options, you need to have ActiveX enabled, but to be secure, you should have it set to Prompt, so you can allow it only when you trust the site (ActiveX is also used to put spyware on your PC).

Hi,
You must have Adobe Reader installed on your PC first to read .pdf files.
You can go to this Link and get the latest Adobe Reader.

Good Luck
