The only options presented are Save & Cancel.
My guess is that XP security is preventing it from being opened. How do I
allow it to be opened.

Thanks
 
Ive done that, and get the same result.
If the file is saved to the desktop then opened it will work just fine.
 
Checked the size allocated for temp files from within IE and view the files.
Also check you have access to the directory. When I saw this issue it was
related to reaching the allocation limit.

Hi, Adding to the good advise you given, you have two options:
1= To go to the File association and see if the PDF (Adobe) is having the
command Open in it or you can change it, how?;
Try this click Start >> Control panel >> Folder options.
On the Folder options Window click on File type and locate the PDF Highlight
it and click Advanced Button make sure the option[ ] Confirm after download
is checked, on edit file type click Edit button and make sure this settings
are correct:
Action:
[ Open ]

Application used to perform action:
["C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""%1"

[ ] Use DDE
DDE Message:

Application:

DDE Application Not Running:

Topic:
[ System ]
Click [OK] when finish.

The same on PDX ( Acrobat Catalog Index).

2= Uninstall Adobe and download the latest version I think it is Ver8.0 now.
HTH.

Actually, that usually turns out to be a File Association issue. I'd say
check that first.
