I have a clean install of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and I find following problems with IE8 (also 32bit-version):- When I want to show a PDF file, nothing but a blank page is shown after clicking on it, no PDF is opening- When I want to print a page, nothin is printed but the header and footer line, the rest stays clean whiteWhen I put the "security mode" to inactive under "Security" in "internet options" then everything is working but I don't want to put that to inactive...Anyone could help me?Thanks a lot and kind regards

Hi,Please help us clarify if the "security mode" you meaned is the "Protected Mode". If your issue disappeared after disable the "Protected Mode", this issue should be caused by the current Security setting is so high that the website failed to be opened, you can try the following steps to fix your issue.1. Please open Internet Explorer, click "Tools", and click "Internet Options".2. Switch to the "Security" tab.3. Check the box before Enalbe Protected Mode, and click the "Custom level.." button, then click the "Reset.." button, click yes when the warnning window pops up.4. Click OK to save the setting. 5. Restart the IE8 to test again. If the website still fail to show PDF file, you can try to change the "Medium-High (Default) level to the Medium level as a test. In addition, you can test you issue in a new account.Good luck! John

Hi,Thanks for your reply.Yes it's surely the protected mode, I'm sorry, german version... ;-)I have tried to reset the settings, no change, also, in the other "normal user" accounts, the issue is the same except of the admin account, there everything works fine!I have moved the TEMP viariables to a new partition and also moved the temporary internet files there, but there is full access and permission for users and admins and this haven't been a problem so far, I'm practising that since years without problems. but it must be smth around there, I have also the impression that no internet files are stored on the harddisk... temporary internet files just contains some .ico files nothing else, also in the admin accountStrange...

I am glad to hear your IE8 works fine in your admin account. At this point, your issue should be caused by the read-write permission on the temporary Internet folder. In fact, you can give all users the full permission on the temporary Internet folder to fix your issue. Good luck! John

Hey lasso, did you ever get this problem solved? did you follow John Cena's answer? I am experiencing the same problem at my workplace :-/

Well, still the same here... no change even with instructions. I have now the protected mode inactive... I'm gonna reinstall Windows soon, hope this will help

Hi Lassso, Did you re-install windows and did the problem go away? or did you find a solution?
