can't open PDF file anymore

Hi all,
I was able to open PDF files from websites and save then in IE now I just get a pop up and it's blank. I have enabled the addon PDF link help. I can open and view in firefox and save once opened. The older I'm getting the more I'm forgetting.


thanks in advance

Carmine

If you like IE try Maxthon. It uses the IE engine but has a bunch of user-written plugins like firefox. If it's in IE now it was prolly in Maxthon 3 years ago.

It's prolly the most fun IE based browser I've used. Now I'm into Firefox but Maxthon has some cool plugins.
