I have OE 6 and Windows 2000 on a Dell computer. When I try to open a pdf
attachment, it opens in word pad, and is unintelligible. I have to first
save the file in Adobe, then open Adobe and access the attachment there.
It's a real pain! I assume I may have some type of association problem...any
ideas on how I can fix this? Also, and this may be an associated problem,
when I close a pdf document that has been accessed on the internet, I get an
error message that Microsoft has encountered a problem and the browser must
be closed.

Save the PDF to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With. Select Adobe and
check the box to Always use this program to open this kind of file. In the
future, the attachment should open correctly from OE.

Thanks for your quick response, Bruce. However, pardon my ignorance, but
what is my HDD?!

HDD = Hard Drive Disk. Basically, just save a PDF attachment to any place
you wish. My Documents would be fine. Then continue as stated.
