Help
pdf won't open in browser, instead it will open in adobe reader itself; this started happening after uninstalling adobe reader and installing foxit; then trying to uninstall foxit reader and taking out any registry entries that had to do with foxit and then reinstalling adobe reader again; the browser is mozilla firefox 3.6 Beta 5 and on a windows vista; if there is a pdf on the page it will pop up an error: The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again. i have already tried reinstalling Adobe Reader 9.2, and following the instructions on http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/328/328233.html, except steps 7, 10-13 and trying to install the adobe reader plugin for firefox.

this problem was resolved by deleting the nppdf32.dll from the adobe folder and then restarting adobe reader

why won't my laptop work?
Having grandkids is God's way of giving you a 2nd chance because you were too busy working your butt off the 1st time around
Do not send me PMs with problems that should be posted in the forums. Keep it in the forums, so everyone benefits

Thank You for letting us know your issue is resolved and how you did it. 
The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.
