Any time I go to web page that is a PDF type page http://h200007.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support…61/bpl10361.pdf%5B/url%5D I can’t view it, all I get is a little box in the top left corner with a red square, green circle and blue triangle in it.
Could I trouble someone to direct me to the setting I have to change on my computer to view it.
BTW I do have Adobe Reader 5.0.

It’s possible your installation of the control is broken somehow, but it would be unusual for that to happen spontaneously. If you can think of any system changes you might have made, then perhaps it would be worth further investigation.
