    Adobe Acrobat Reader is now up to Version 7.0.
    Might want to update and see if that helps.

    Good luck.

    You may also want to try right clicking the file and selecting "save target as..." and save it to My docs(or wherever), then open it from there.

    I believe adobe 7 requires Win xp, and adobe 6 requires Ie6. I will try right clicking the file and see if that helps.

    sparkyrhett--I suspect liam858's suggestion will be the easiest, but check your settings in Reader Edit|Preferences|Internet. All boxes should be checked. Also adjust for connection speed, etc.

    Never bothered to find a fix. Just lived with that error message when it popped up.

    When I was on dialup especially, but still does it on cable, the info sometimes comes down (watch for the loading percentage in bottom left corner (I believe) starting with a blank page. Use the hand cursor or scroll bar to make sure it really dl'd or not.
