When I attempt to view a pdf file on the Internet the window
"File Download"
Do you want to Save this file?
Save Cancel
comes up. How to fix?
Using current version of PDF-XChange Viewer
Windows XP Pro
No problem opening the file if I save the file and then open it.

Don, did you set PDF-XChange Viewer as your system-wide default reader for pdfs?
On my PC, the PDF Viewer opens in a tab of IE 7.

I couldn't find any options regarding pdf files in IE6.
Did the following:
Removed Adobe Reader 8
Rebooted - wouldn't; tried previous good boot option - wouldn't boot.
Rebooted into Safe mode and did a chkdsk /r
Rebooted ok
Went to a website and attempted to open a pdf file online - wouldn't open but gave an option to Save.
Uninstalled PDF-XChange Viewer
Installed same
All is now OK <============ !!!
It may be time to get new computer; my shopbuilt ASUS TUSL2-C is about ten years old. Hmmm I'm 75! Wife may be thinking about a new husband. 'Don't blame her.

I'm glad it worked, although the reboot was probably scary ...
Tell your wife that wine gets's better with age ..

Scary little exercise Don - pleased all is well now.
Have to say very impressed with your uptake on technology - wish I could get my Dad as 'savvy' as you and he is a couple of years younger thank you !
Cheers
