ie6 does not open pdf's

My IE6 browser will save a link to a pdf if I right click and save it, but not if I just click on it. A new window opens with a little icon in top left corner but no pdf file. Pop up blocking is disabled. I have XP Pro. Its annoying me and I'd like to fix it.

TIA

Rob

Could it be a security setting?
Or maybe an advanced browser settings out of whack?
Maybe IE6 is broken, I've tried repairing it through control panel.

Thanks

This is either based on Permissions or a setting you need to change in Adobe. As long as you have administrative permisions when you log in then you'll be able to change the required setting in adobe. To change the setting open adobe reader (6.0) go to [Edit]- [Preferneces]-[Internet] from there uncheck [Display PDF in Browser]. If this is greyed out, you'll neeed local administrative privileges for the PC. Select OK. You should now be able to view PDF files from IE.
