Hi. I have several users who have Adobe Reader 7.0.8. At one point, they had both 5.0 and 7 installed. When trying to click on links for .pdf files in internet explorer, they got a message saying that the file could not be found.

I uninstalled both versions, rebooted, and reinstalled 7.0.8. Now, things work better, but are still not perfect. When I click a link, I am only offered the option to save the PDF file. I am not even asked to open or save the file. I can save the file and open it without any problems, but this can get to be very tedious, as the users are doing this 40 or 50 times in a day.

I have tried running repairs, and Open in browser checked and UNchecked still doesn't seem to change anything. My good buddy Google doesn't seem to have any ideas either.
