pdf download

When pdf pages download, all I see is a blank page with a
small square in the top left corner containing three
coloured symbols.

status line = 'done'

If it is only .pdf files, then read on and see if this is relevant:
You may have an invalid plugin.
Netscape-Style Plug-ins Do Not Work After Upgrading Internet Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=303401

Remove the plugin with Regedit.exe
Start-Run-Regedit.exe
Navigate down to this key and remove it, after exporting it as a
normal safety precaution.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Plugins\Extension\.pdf

If that key exists, then you will see what plugin has been installed.
(QuickTime by the looks of it and if so, I believe they have a fix)
The key does not normally exist.

I take it you are using version 6 of the Acrobat Reader. What happens if you configure Acrobat Reader to NOT display the PDF file within the browser (i.e., have it load the PDF in a separate window which is the Acrobat Reader program)?
