Opening PDFs

[rps]

Recently, when I open PDF files directly from IE, I get
an error message saying that "The specified path does not
exist", with a long file pathway located in Temporary
Internet Files. This is a recent problem, it was opening
directly without trouble last week. If I save the PDF
file to my hard drive and open it, it loads just fine
into Adobe Acrobat.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Well... I can't help

I was here for a similar propram.... when I open PDF files
though an IE Explorer window and then I close the PDF file
to move on to another screen, then all my IE windows close
and I lose all the information I was looking at... I then
get the Micro soft error reporting screen.

But like you, if I can save it to my hard drive, it is not
a problem to open it.... I just can't open the PDF from IE.

I could NOT find a way to get help from MSN... fustrates
me as I need to use the IE and Adobe for work.

Any IDEAS?

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
