Since I installed Adobe Reader 6.0, pages won't load PDF
files. In the site below, it states this new version
doesn't have the PDFViewer plug-in and that it needs to
be configured.
I have been trying to no avail to configure as stated
below, but can't even seem to find how to do the first
step:
1. Start IE, and choose Explorer > Preferences.
I can't find PREFERENCES anywhere! I just can't seem to
find out how to configure.
Help!
Many thanks,
Irene
