I sent Ray an off list post because it had gotten no response (til now that is). This is what I had sent him FWIW:
I was told a problem exists with older extensions being left in sys fldr when 5.1.6 installs. Look in the IE folder (that's where they now reside) & delete their conterparts from your sys ext fldr. I believe they are Component Library, Internet Library, & Font Embed Library. This seems to work better but I'm not sure it's a total solution. I have MSO 98 & it wants to run "First Run" & add older ext back in sys folder. I'm going to try installing ext from MSIE fldr in ext fldr & then put aliases of those in the IE fldr & see if that helps.

I am still on Explorer 5.0, using OS 9.2.2 on a QuickSilver G4/733. I am not using OS X although 10.1.3 is sitting there. With both Explorer and Netscape Communicator 4.77, I have been having problems working with .pdf downloads from some web sites and with some of the .pdf pages of web sites where other .pdf pages are OK. I got some improvement with the latest Acrobat Reader for OS 9, but I still get error messages when attempting to open some .pdf pages -- something about IE not being able to negotiate with Acrobat Reader and do I want Acrobat to fix the problem, which it never does. So I'm interested in whether IE 5.1 works better with AR. Thanks, Ray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I haven't bothered to upgrade to Explorer 5.1 since 5 > has been working pretty good for me.
