    The plugin doesn't work, a blank page is brought up. About plugins says it's
    there and I have 5.1 installed. If I use the "Save Link Target As" to save
    the file to the desktop, I can open it with the reader. Under helper
    applications I have it set:

    MIME Type: application/pdf
    extension: pdf

    Selecting "save it to disk" doesn't work either.

    Running Win 2K Pro.

    I installed Adobe Reader 6 and things work a little better, now it brings up an Adobe Reader window but nothing is displayed and when I close the reader window, it leaves a hole in the browser.
