When I click .pdf or .wma files I get the IE window open with scrambled writing. It will not open Acrobat or Media Player. If I want to view those files, I must open the program first and either drag the link or copy & paste the link into the program. This is same from internet IE or Windows desktop. What can I do so W2K will automatically open those files?

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
