I am currently using Windows XP and have all the current MS updates, IE6, Dell Dimension 2400. I tried IE7 but was not happy with the new format so removed it.
My problem is this:
Whenever I try to bring up a PDF file, it causes an error message and closes the browser. I also have tried on Firefox but it comes up with a blank page instead. What do I need to do to fix it?
Thanks...

1.) Try uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader. When you view a PDF an Adobe Reader plugin is used to display the document in the browser, so if it's corrupt it could crash the browser.
2.) Try using Foxit, a free alternative to Adobe Reader.
3.) Try performing a System Restore back to a time when it worked, if that's in the recent past.
Hope this helps,
John
mitch5511, Do a file search for acr*.tmp and delete any that you find. Start>Search>Files and folders. Then see if you can open pdf files.
