When I click on a .pdf icon or hyperlink in a web page, all I get is a cute little icon (red square, green circle, red triangle).  I get no error message as others say they do.  I have downloaded Reader 5.0.1, and it works just fine by itself (with .pdf files downloaded previously with version 4.0).  This problem occurs no matter what browser I use (usually Internet Explorer).  In Reader I have made sure that the "Display PDF in Browser" box under Edit/Preferences/Options is checked.  Where am I going wrong? 

I've looked over some of the other messages, and I'm not sure whether I have the same problem as others, since I don't get any error message (just an icon).  I also admit that this could be something simple, as I'm not too bright.
