Adobe Acrobat Reader FIles will not open from MIE

[Clark]

MIE 6.0
Windows XP

When I click on an Adobe Acrobat Reader file, found on a web page, all I get
is a Beep sound and nothing opens up. When I use a different computer the
files open with no problem at all - so I know the links are OK. I assume it
must be some setting in MIE but which one??

Any Ideas

Look at the top edge of your Internet Explorer screen, just below the normal
toolbars - does an 'information bar' appear? It sounds like the download is
being blocked, but the info bar should give you the option to bypass the
blocking.

Hi Clark

In additon to the information Sandi has provided, you might try the
following and see it it helps:

IE browser software defaults Acrobat Reader to "OFF" to display PDF files.
You can restore the setting to"ON" by finding an Acrobat document and then
opening it.

Then click Edit> Preferences> Internet> check the box nect to "Display PDF
in browser"

If still no joy, try the information here:

Hope this helps

Thanks - it was a pop-up blocker that was causing the problem.
