Since the OP is using Windows XP, I don't think this explanation applies in this exact form. Adobe does keep supplying plugins for non-IE browsers in Windows. With that said, however... it IS possible that the OP is missing the Adobe Reader plugin in Seamonkey -- the installer for Adobe Reader detects Firefox (and, I think, Opera) automatically, but not Seamonkey or other less-common browsers. A couple months ago I gave somebody instructions to manually install this plugin, but it was for Vista/Win7... let me see if I can adapt it to XP... ...yes, here it is: Just copy nppdf32.dll from: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\Browser\ to your Seamonkey plugins browser (usually C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\plugins ) -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
