204298 2003-12-31 00:35:00 Pdf files (using abode acrobat reader 5) that are attached to a message in Outlook Express won't run. When I click the paper clip the pdf file and save attachments option is greyed out. Im running windows 98 SE and outlook express 6. Evilgecko (5058)
204299 2003-12-31 00:44:00 Try this:

In Outllook Express go to Tools > Options > Security tab. Remove the tick from beside "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could be potentially a virus". Click Apply and then OK. Try again with the pdf file.

204301 2004-01-01 02:18:00 in your PDF reader also there is an option to NOT open it within your browser (such as IE). open acrobat reader, go to edit/preferences in the dropdown list go to internet and uncheck "display PDF in browser".
it will start quicker and won't trash what you are doing in your browser.
