When i try to open an existing pdf file on my hardrive. I even tried to
download a new adobe reader and I get "This object has been blocked". I am
running out of ideas on how to fix it.and I have no clue as to why it
happened. Running XPPRO without benefit of SP2 as yet with ZA PRO, Nortion

To solve your provlem, ( assume IE6) choose Internet Options from the Tools
drop down menu. Click on the Privacy tab. Move the Setting slider down to
Medium or Low.

I recommend that you not change the IE security settings, but download and
install Mozilla Firefox browser. Set to be your default browser and import
the IE favorites. Use the less secure IE only for Windows and Office Updates.

I'm not so sure, I think it was Zone Alarm Pro. I have Firefox, an
ZoneAlarm Pro, no pop-up blocker, the same "This object has bee
blocked." problem, until (and only until) I shutdown ZoneAlarm.

Of course, this doesn't mean it must be ZoneAlarm Pro, and ZAP on it
own, it could be a combinaion... well, surely, as the computer i
nothing but a combination of systems..
