Hi All, 

I am not sure if I missed something (This website is annoying to navigate), but I am having a problem with IE and Acrobat (Plug-in?) 

As the example, when I click on the URL: 

http://www.quantum.com/Products/DLTtape+Drives+and+Media/SDLT+320/Marketing+and+News/Data+Sheet.htm <http://www.quantum.com/Products/DLTtape+Drives+and+Media/SDLT+320/Marketing+and+News/Data+Sheet.htm> 

IE opens up 4 windows every few seconds, non stop until I kill the IEXPLORE.EXE process. 

I have reproduced this on 3 different PCs/users, although it doesn't occur on all PC's tested. 

Any Ideas? Perhaps the Plug-in isn't installed correctly? It works for all other URLs. 

Thanks, -Patrick
