Displaying .pdf files in browsers

For some reason, my IE6 AND Netscape refuse to display pages with ".pdf" in or at the end of, the URL. They used to be quite happy, and I don't know what's changed. Anyone suggest how to restore this functionality?

(yes, I do have Acrobat 5 (and 3.1) on my machine)

TIA

Phil

Id suggest removing both products and restarting your machine; then re-installing the later Acrobat (Reader), this should allow you to open .PDF documents again.

Acrobat 6 has an option in Edit.. Preferences... Internet to "Display in browser"
Other than that, same as above, re-install to reregeister all the components.,,
