IE8 can't open webpage in pdf format

[djd]

i get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message screen with

the diagnose connection problem button when trying to open any link to a

webpage in pdf format. when using Firefox the links open fine with no problem

this is using IE8 on a new Windows 7 laptop. i had no problems previously on

my old laptop using IE8 & XP

Web pages are not in pdf format. Have you installed a pdf reader application

such as Foxit or Adobe reader?

Default PDF reader & version is...?



Did this start immediately after installing KB987207?
