I have a pc with NT4 on it, the problem I am having is it can't open PDF files in IE. I have tryed acrobat 4 and 5, with no luck. Went to IE 5.5 and 6.0, and still nothing. It keeps asking for a program to use, when I point to acrobat it, claims a activex error. I am open to any ideas you may have.
 
You say you point it to the Acrobat reader, so I'm assuming you have a copy installed. Have you ever run Acrobat alone under the account you are using??? There are some registry entries that are made the first time it's run. Running it under the Administrator account doesn't set them all for the user accounts IIRC. Try running it once under the user account then try going through IE again.

FWIW when running it the first time under the user account you will need to give them Administrator or Power User rights. After you run it you can move them back down to User rights again.
 
Well will have to check the security settings of IE!

I had the same problem,after an upgrade, the only way was to play with the securit settings!
But you could try to completly uninstall Acrobat Reader ( files and registry ) and reinstall it
to see if the problem is corrected!!
 
Thanks but I have tried all those fixes, and they if anything made it worse, it now has no sound. Trying to avoid reinstalling 4.0. But, I may have to.
