using Windows Explorer, locate a PDF file, any PDF file, right-click on it and select Properties. On the General tab, look at what Windows thinks the file opens with. Does it say Adobe reader? If not click on the Change... button. Now you can sort things out and allocate Adobe Reader to open all PDF files. If Adobe Reader isn't shown as the Recommended program, click on the little arrow at the end of the line for Other Programs. Is it in there? If so, select it and make sure that the check box saying 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' is ticked. Now click OK and close the Properties window. If it's not Recommended or in the Other Programs, then it hasn't been set up as a Default Program, but that's another topice :-). Maybe the simplest way out is to reinstall Acrobat reader :-) -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
