I have a Win XP Pro SP1 with all the security patches installed. Rather
mysteriously, I can no longer open PDF files in internet explorer. When I
click on a PDF, the browser window is white, and IE is using 100% of the CPU
for at least 5 minutes, before I kill it. In the past, the PDFs opened in a
couple of seconds.
The problem is I don't know how to fix the problem. Normally, I would
uninstall and reinstall the software, but there is no way to uninstall IE 6.
I did uninstall and reinstall Acrobat 5.0.5, and I installed the free
Acrobat Reader 6.0 and neither of these exercises solved the problem.
I can read PDFs on the harddrive, so I believe it is IE that is chumping it.
I did not see any adobe software listed in the plug-ins directory.
Any suggestions on how to restore the capability to read PDFs in IE would be
most appreciated.
TIA,
Pete
