Came on rather suddenly but, for the past several weeks I have been unable to open pdf files and use Acrobat. What do I need to check? Also, for the past year (yeah, I know, YEAR???) I have been unable to use links regarding CPF both in and outside the CPF forums themselves. Am using Windows XP home but don't have the "enable cookies" option I usually am told to reference. Any ideas for one or the other problem??

If you want to use Acrobat, can you please be more specific than "unable to open"? Some more information about what happens after you double-click on a .pdf file would help a lot.

Sometimes it's as simple as that the .pdf is set to be viewed by some other app and you need to change that using Open With.

edit: Right-click on the file, go to "Open With ->" and choose the last thing at the bottom. It's named "Choose Program..." In that window choose Acrobat and then select the checkbox to "Always use the selected program to open this type of file", then click the button named OK.
