    Default More computer help, please

    Would one or more of the computer wizz-bang Members mind helping me with this (one more) problem, please? When clicking on MOST links in the forum I cop the following:

    "One or more PDF Extensions are disabled. This may impact how PDF's are displayed in Internet Explorer. Please go to Manage Add-ons in Internet Explorer and enable add-ons from Adobe. You will need to restart Internet Explorer after performing this action."

    IE7 does not contain, that I can fiind, 'Manage Add-ons' and searching Adobe Reader offers no help either. I'm cranky as .... because I'm missing out on stuff, eh?

    look in the tools menu should be the forth option down after the phishing filter options
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    Click the down arrow beside the word Tools in the top right corner.
    Now click on Internet Options & pick the Programs tab. (2nd from the right at the top)
    On the bottom of that window you will find you Manage Add-ons button.

    See if that helps.

    Thanks Fellas. I used both recommendations as Murphy would have it the Adobe PDF Reader is enabled (I realize each took me to the same place). I'm the dope, because I had accessed this weeks ago but had forgotten. What was the question?

    Still not fixed, by the way.

    Can you post a link to something that you are having problems with?

    I can't even find anything about PDF Extensions in my Add-ons.... just the Acrobat Browser & a helper & I don't seem to be having any problems.

    Have you tried updating your Acrobat Reader?
    What version are you using.... is it 7?
    Open Acrobat Reader & click on Help & Check for Updates.

    Take the first part of your error message and bung it in Google. You'll usually find a tech note or an entry from another forum far far away. Like this one from Adobe.

    Cliff, you asked for a link which responded in the way I described (I wasn't ignoring you)
    Post by Honorary Bloke in Willyuncle's thread "How do you set router bit depth? (3/4")":
    http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworki.../Rabbeting.pdf is the first to come up with my 'error' problem.

    FWIW that link works fine for me, but then I don't use IE7 or otherwise, I use Firefox and I must also say I have the full version of Adobe Acrobat 5, not just the reader, on my puter.

    Thanks Big Shed. I have Acrobat 7 (6, and 5 are still showing in Search) but how do I make it the default reader in place of Reader alone? Would this be the right approach for all pdf files I may encounter? I ask because pdf files in this forum are not the only failures.
