Problems printing Adobe Forms files

When trying to print ADOBE FDF files from an internet site it automatically tries to save rather than open the file for printing. It gives you no choices other than “save.” It was working, then I made the following changes and it stopped entirely. I am on XP.
1. Installed IE2
2. Upgraded to Spybot 1.3
3. Upgraded to Adobe reader 6.01

Then it stopped working, so I uninstalled 6.01 and reinstalled 5.05. That didn’t fix it so I uninstalled IE2, which not only didn’t fix the problem but made the shortcuts I had saved stop working. Undid all changes made by Spybot & uninstalled it, still didn’t help. Have run System Mechanic 4, Norton & PCBugDoctor to no avail. I’m about ready to format & start over! Any suggestions???
