I have Adobe Reader version 6.0.3 on my Windows 98 SE laptop, with updates 6.04, 6.0.5, and 6.0.6 also installed (still, my program says it's only ver 6.0.3, shouldn't it say 6.0.6, my latest upgrade?).

The problem is, anytime I try to open a .pdf file from a website in Internet Explorer, all I get is a little icon in the upper-left corner of my screen, NO FORM WILL OPEN!

Help, I need some tax forms pronto! I didn't upgrade to a higher version like 8 or 9 because I don't think it's compatible with my Win98 OS, from what I read on the Adobe Reader site.

This seems like it would be a common problem, I'm stuck in such a basic phase, the file not even opening! So, I appreciate any thoughts or instructions anyone more informed than I can suggest.

Thanx a lot -- Joanne
