When I go to a site, and click on view or download a PDF, my dell computer image finder pops up (Active Image? or whatever) saying it can't open the document.
I have Adobe Reader on my desktop. How can I make it so I don't get that popup? Where would I have to put an Adobe Alias in my system so these site documents are opened by my computer after download right away and I don't have to close everything, find Adobe and then open the file.

You should disable your image finder or whatever. I don't know what exactly you should do, because it's probably a Dell-specific tool.

Try this: In MS Internet Explorer, right-click the PDF file, choose "Save Target As..." and select a folder where the document will be downloaded. You can choose Desktop, for example. Start downloading and uncheck "Close this dialog box when download completes". When download completes, click "Open".

And you can drag the Adobe Reader icon from Desktop to the Quick Launch panel, which should be to the right from the Start button (it depends on your configuration). Quick Launch panel is quite handy, because it allows you to start applications without going to the Start menu or minimizing all other windows to reveal Desktop with the application shortcut. | | | Make sure... | Feb 22, 2005 |

Hi Jane,
It happened something similar to me after updating to version 6 or so. When I realized that the update was the moment that problems arise, I uninstalled the last version and downloaded the previous one. After that, pdfs go fine again... even with ME, probably the worst Windows version. | |
