I've run into the same problem and oddly enough, it was with a 98 machine. My solution, and I don't know if this is the right answer but it worked, I told the user to uninstall their current version of Acrobat Reader and re-install Acrobat Reader 5. This worked for anyone who had the problem. I've since gone away from cfcontent as I experienced inconsistent results with that bastard of a tag.

However, on one browser a 98 machine with IE5.5 I can't get the pdf to show. Instead there is the box and the msg says Error Locating Object Handler There is no viewer available for the type of object you are trying to open. The following informantion is available about this object. Address: http://blahblah Content type: text/html Possible location of viewer: Microsoft ActiveXGallery I took the Ben Forta advice and checked the Folder Options in Tools of Windows Explorer. I went over it piece by piece comparing it to the settings of a browser that worked- I didn't see any differences. This browser has opened pdfs when I used the meta tag and the embed tag so I know that it does open pdfs...any suggestions?
