Windows XP with IE v:6.0; When try to access a web site
with PDF files, the result is a placeholder. I can't
find why this happens.

Running IE v:6.0 at the office with Windows NT and no
problems opening the same PDF files. I've compared
settings on both IE's, and can't find any differences in
the setting between to two.

This problem greatly limits what I can access.

Any clue what to do, or help?
