When I select the monster puzzle, it doesn't display itself... just a little box with an "x" inside it. When try to show the puzzle, I get a blank page... adobe doesn't open any page. Is anyone else having this problem?

I haven't had this problem at all, Patti.

I'm curious about your computer, operating system, and version of Adobe Reader. Are you on a Mac? Windows machine? Linux? What version of the Adobe Reader?

Presumably the "classic" puzzles work OK for you -- is that correct?

I want to try to help you, but a bit more information is needed. dcb

My system is ancient... Windows 98. I was able to display the monsters up until about a week ago, and I can display the classics. I'm pretty sure I have the most current version of adobe, but I'd guess that's not the problem since I can display the classics.
Hummm? Thanks for your response.

Hi Patti

I get occasional reports of problems like this with acrobat that worked last week and doesn't this, or can open old puzzles but not today's. All the puzzles have the same pdf structure, so I don't understand why this should be be, but it may well be a subtlety of my pdfs that I haven't figured. All these problems have so far have gone away with an update to the latest version of acrobat reader -- I know this shouldn't be necessary, but give it a go anyway, even if you think you're up-to-date. If it doesn't fix the problem then bug me again either here or by email.

You might try deleting your temporary internet files -- that sometimes helps with flaky problems.

Hi, Patti!

I usually use Linux on my dual-boot machine. But today I brought it up as Win98 for a while, and checked out your complaint.

Using MSIE 6.0 SP1 (and Adobe Reader 6.0.1) I reproduced your problem. The .pdf page wouldn't load, and I got the red x (a "broken graphic" symbol from Microsoft).

I didn't have this problem with my other browsers. I still can't get plugins like Adobe to run under the Firefox browser, but I was able to load the page no problem, then save it to disk and open it with the reader locally. My old Netscape 7.0 browser brought the page up OK via the plugin, although I had to kick it a little (ask for "view page source") before it would go. But I couldn't get Internet Explorer to work -- nohow, noway.

I didn't try going backwards in the archive to check if the problem occurs with the first "monster" puzzle, or if it maybe started up with the first 16x16 puzzle (the one where the "0"s wouldn't print). I'll try that tomorrow. In the meantime, if you have Netscape on your machine you might want to try using that. dcb
