Hi Scott,

      No I did not try reinstalling PDF995 because I just recently 
deleted it and reinstalled it.  It had begun to fail on all other 
programs back a few weeks ago but I cannot remember exactly when that 
was in relation to the day MS automatically updated IE.  I only use IE 
for those sites that do not display on Firefox. PDF995 has been working 
fine on all  other program which I use to build PDF files since then 
until I tried to print something important from IE.
    However thanks for the URL with the necessary information. That 
solved the problem, the browser is again usable. From what you are 
telling me, it appears that I will have to stay with IE6 if I want the 
pull down menus and a working PDF printer.

  Cy

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
