I just installed Reader 8 and it works perfectly EXCEPT within Outlook Express. When somebody emails me a .pdf as an attachment, and I try to OPEN it within OE ( as opposed to downloading it ) I get the message : THIS FILE DOES NOT HAVE A PROGRAM ASSOCIATED WITH IT FOR PERFORMING THIS ACTION. CREATE AN ASSOCIATION IN THE FOLDER OPTIONS CONTROL PANEL. Then OE hangs up and has to be cancelled/restarted.

however, I have already set up ( and checked several times )that Reader 8 is the association for PDF. Also, .pdf is recognized and opened correctly by Reader8 everywhere else within window.

has anybody else had this, and if so, have you found a fix.

thanks for the help
