PDF files won't open

[Jan Works]

Running IE 6 on XPPro.... and Acrobat Reader 6
I have lost the ability to view PDF files online.... It used to be that I
could do a "save as" to my hard drive to view them, but now all I get on the
page is a small box with a red X in the upper left corner. Have I lost the
link to view PDFs in Explorer; how do I recover it? My firewall is
configured to allow Adobe Acrobat.
Thanks for any help.

Some issues with Ver 6.

PDF file doesn't open in Web browser (Acrobat 6.0 or Adobe Reader 6.0 on
Windows)

Thank you for the reference. I already have the update to 6.0.1, but will
try disabling the web browser integration.

Disabling web browser integration didn't improve the situation, i.e. PDF
files still don't appear in the browser. What does work is to "save target
as" (right click on the link to the PDF file) -- this has to be done not on
the page where the PDF is supposed to appear, but on the previous page
(where the link appears.) Of course an obvious solution would be to cease
using Acrobat 6 and go back to Acrobat Reader 5 for use with IE. Which I may
do.
