HiWhen i download a file that is in pdf format it comes down with a notebook icon and when i try to open it in Adobe Acrobat it is unreadable,i right clicked and looked for "open with"but its not therehow do i open it so it is readable?windows xpThanks in advance Don

Try holding down ALT and then double click on it. Or go the tools menu and explorer and look for file associations.Sounds to me though like you don't have acrobat installed.Matt
