SP2-no Adobe in IE

[Jim]

After installing SP2, now my I/E does not have capability
of opening .pdf files. This new Add on Manager does not
let me enable the Adobe, it says only the administrator
can change this, but I am the administrator. My Adobe 6.0
Reader opens fine from Desktop, and opens .pdf files that
I had saved in C directory. It does not appear to be the
Adobe, but the I/E setting. Any thoughts on how to enable
the Adobe in the I/E. please help. Microsoft SP2 Chat
was not very helpful.

(Windows XP SP2)?:

Probably has something to do with SP2 blocking Active - x controls due to
securtiy reasons.
