Unable to view pdf files from Microsoft Internet Explorer

[Claude_Martin@adobeforums.com]

I recently upgraded to Acrobat 5.0 and now when I attempt to view a pdf file while in Microsoft Internet Explorer I get a blank screen. For some reason the link from IE to Acrobat does not complete now.
Is there some configuration selection that needs to be selected or what?
I am currently having to "save target as" and then open Acrobat to view but that is a lot of extra steps.
Thanks for any suggestions and solutions.

I am having the same problem and it only recently happened. Appears to have happened when I downloaded an automatic update of Microsoft Explorer. Microsoft Database has articles about this problem references that "Netscape style" plug-ins no longer work.

Specifically: Netscape-style plug-ins do not work after you upgrade Internet Explorer.

Some examples of Netscape-style plug-ins include QuickTime by Apple Computer, Inc.; Finale MusicViewer by Coda Music Technology; and AlternaTIFF by Medical Informatics Engineering.
CAUSE
The versions of Internet Explorer that are listed above do not support Netscape-style plug-ins.
RESOLUTION
Contact the manufacturer of your Netscape-style plug-in to inquire whether the manufacturer has a version of the component available that is built on ActiveX technologies. Apple has provided an ActiveX control that restores the QuickTime plug-in for Internet Explorer versions 5.5 SP2 and 6. Please visit the following Apple Web site to download and install this control:
<http://www.apple.com/quicktime/>

Developer information about the QuickTime ActiveX plug-in by Apple Computer, Inc. is available at the following Apple Web site:
<http://developer.apple.com/quicktime/compatibility.html>

STATUS
This behavior is by design.

Of course, this didn't solve m problem.

Let me know if you can figure it out.
