Cant view pdf files etc. since XP SP2 installed.
Discussion
Hi Guys,
Wonder if you have any ideas....
Since I installed SP2 on my laptop, I cannot view PDF files, amongst others, from links on say PH.
Alll I get is a small box in the top left of the page with a red X in it.
I presume its something to do with the security settings, but after a bit of a play, the problem remains.
Thoughts anyone?

If you are using the free reader rather than a paid for version of Acrobat it might be an opportunity to update the the latest V7 release - though my initial impression is that it seems a tad slower and maybe does not like all aspects of some older files.
Can't be sure about that though since I only loaded it a couple of days ago.
Re-installing is a logical first step - quicker than finding any other solution probably and should provide a working system.

I have`acrobat reader/writer installed already. it works fine with all my other PDF files - its just that I cannot view them without downloading and saving them first.
Sounds like SP2 has (probably among other things) changed some components in your browser - IE still?
Probably the Acrobat reader plug in de-registered or something like that. Still worth trying a re-install of the browser I would suggest. Either that or dabble with the browser security settings.
