IE7 driving me crazy, need help here please.

Hi, this is my problem and I hope someone can help me with it before the jab something trough the screen.

I have to use IE for my university website as it doesn't support Firefox and last week I un installed Acrobat Pro and now I have the regular Acrobat Reader but when I click on a php link it doesn't redirect the link properly to download a PDF but it tries to download the PHP page it self.

Let me give you an example:
This is what the link looks like: http://mass.bgu.ac.il/wpdf.php?fn=blabla.pdf

Now instead of prompting me to download the PDF file its trying to download wpdf.php file.

Is it a IE7 problem or Adobe one? Even if I don't have Acrobat installed I should be able to download PDF files...

Any ideas?

right click it and save target as?

Doesn't work, I get the same result.

Have you tried to right click and save as and then just rename the file with a .pdf extension? I've done that before when trying to download various bills and technical papers... just a thought

If you look at what he typed, he said "looks like". Also, if you look at the file name of the link, it says blabla.pdf...
