HELP..... having problem with computer

[EARTHLINGX]

i am having a problem with my home computer...... I try to download PDF manuals from metal detector manufacturers websites so that i can read them BUT, when the download screen on FIREFOX comes up to tell me that it is ready to open, and i try to open it to read it, it keeps giving an untitled open bar across the screen many many times as if it is trying to open but wont link up to open... does anyone know what i have to do??? do i have to change a file type to get it to open or what????

Never had that problem with Firefox. Is Adobe reader installed on your 'puter? Also, are you saving them to your drive or just clicking on the links? To save a file to your hard drive right click on the link and then click on "save link as" to save the file to where you want it in you puter. That is always the best way whether using Firefox or IE.

OK...... i tried what mag said and it did come up as "save link as" but i try to save to "my documents " and it does. BUT when i try to open it in "my documents" it says it cannot find the file THEN it keeps trying to bring up the internet to open it .....BUT the internet wont come up when it tries to open unless i close out everything and bring the internet up first and go to "my documents" but still wont open the file..... do i need to try saving it to something else???? i think we are getting closer but no cigar yet
