PDF error

I can't read 'pdf' attachments to my Outlook Express mail. I get an Error Message "This message does not have a program associated with it"

However, I can save the message to my computer 'My Documents' and it then opens fine with Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader is associated with 'pdf' files in Control Panel - Folder Options.

 Does anyone have advice

Re: PDF error

METHOD 1: 

One of the first reason is that the extension isn't associated with the program, but that is not the case at your end as you told.

In such a scenario, the next problem that may cause the issue is if the Open verb is missing for that
file type.

  • Click Start, Run and type CONTROL FOLDERS
  • In the Folder Options applet that opens, select the File Types tab
  • Scroll down and locate the entry for PDF and select it.
  • Click Advanced
  • Click the New button
  • Type Open in the the Action: text box
  • In the Application used to perform action: field, type the
    following exactly:
    ""C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "%1"
    NOTE: The path given here may be different for you. Ensure that you find the correct AcroRd32.exe for the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader on your system.
  • Uncheck the Use DDE box
  • Click OK, OK
  • Close the Folder Options dialog

METHOD 2:

Reinstall the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
