All of a sudden downloads of pdf files stopped working. So I tried rt-clking
on the pdf link to do a Save As and I am getting an error: "IE cannot
download. No such interface supported."

This had been working fine until the XP balloon popped up saying I had a
couple undated to install. I installed these updates and now I'm getting
this error.

How do I fix IE to work again?

I'm running WinXP Pro on a laptop.

I appreciate your help, -John

Are you running WinXP SP2 or WinXP SP3, John?

What updates were installed and when? (See Update History section at
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com.)

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when you installed IE7 and/or SP3 (if installed)?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

Those with IE7-specific questions or comments are asked to post to and seek
