The only way I can open pdf files is from the Adobe Reader 8 program itself. If I try to open files directly from other folders or from emails, I get the message "This file does not have a program association with it for performing this action". However, when I check the file associations in the "folder options", it shows the right association, ie. that pdf files will open with Adobe Reader 8.
I am using Windoes XP Home, Widows Live Mail,IE 6.0, Zone Alarm Firewall, AVG Free anti-virus.
Any advice would be appreciated.
