Hello Folks
I have heard of this before and have scrambled through different
newsgroups and Googlized it to death, and haven't been very
successful.
Machine has Windows 2000 SP 4
IE 6.0 SP1
User noticed a few days ago when she went to a website, she would
navigate to a link with a pdf file. When she opens the file it is
fine, no problem.
When she selects the print button, he print properties form takes up
the entire window. I thought it may be just an Internet Explorer and
adobe relationship issue and was very surprised that when I tried to
install some utilities the same thing happened.
Example
When a file with a .zip extension is attempted to open Winzip does the
same thing and she can't get to the bottom of the screen.
Being paranoid as always, I update AV, ran a system scan, updated
spyware utilities, ran that scan, removed anything suspicious.
Did an online scan @ Panda, removed other reported files and am still
getting the same symptoms.
Tried reinstalling/repairing IE. I really don't want to do the hammer
to kill the fly routine of formatting and starting over, because I
have seen this solution a while ago, which in my case could be many
moons.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Humbly yours
John Brown
