I have an outlook express that can not open a pdf file that is attached to a mail.

I have looked at file associate, it is standing correct. I have looked in regedit, and it is the same here.

There are no error codes it just will not open acrobat reader files.

Re-install adobe acrobat reader.

I've seen this before. Sometimes it just won't open from e-mail... sometimes it won't open from file--> open either. A re-install usually resolves this.

I have already tried to re-install acrobat reader and also IE5.5 with service packs. It doesn't help.

which version of acrobat reader are you using, the latest ?

can you do a save as and then open the file ?

Let me know Leopold

Is it just a PDF or any attachment. If the latest version of Outlook Express was installed it will not open attachments unless you go to Tools, Security and uncheck the box that allows openting of attachements.
