Hi Mudtoe,
Thank you for the supplemental information which makes the issue clear to
me!
I noticed that you said that the issue only happen to one User in the
computer. Let us try the below steps to see if it is helpful.
1. Create an new user and make it sure that it has enough privilege
2. Log on as this new user and browe the web to see if it can open the PDF
file with ActiveX control
3. Log on as another user, browse to C:\Documents and Settings, you will
find the folder with the same name as the UserID. Copy all files and
folders from the old one to the new one except NTUSER.DAT and NTUSER.POL,
which are the registry file and policy file
4. Log on as the new user again to see if it can open the PDF file with
ActiveX control.
By the way, it will better to remove the old Acrobat before installing the
new version. If you still need Acrobat to modify PDF file, you may install
it after installing Acrobat Reader 6.01.
Have a nice day!
Thanks & Regards,

| Thanks for responding. I looked in the Downloaded Program Files
| folder and did not find an "Update Class" file. I did see a
| "Downloader Class" file. However, this folder seems to be common for
| all Userids as it's under the windows subdirectory, and since it works
| fine for all but the one Userid I use for browsing, I tend to doubt
| that's the problem. I did go ahead and install Acrobat Reader 6.01,
| and that didn't appear to fix anything. Looks like Acrobat 5.0 (the
| regular version) still has the file association for .PDF linked to it
| rather than the reader, although I'm not sure how the ActiveX controls
| for both versions get along (i.e. which control is used).
