Opening .pdfs in IE9

Question

I have developed a website in MS Expression Web 4. Within one of the pages I have created various links to some .pdfs.

All the links work perfectly in Firefox, Safari and Chrome. However they come up with 'Visual C++ Runtime Library Error ' when I try to open them in IE9. But here's the thing: if I disable the AVG toolbar and merely leave the Google toolbar open, all the .pdfs open as required.

The message is contained in a Dialogue Box (sse attached screenshot) with the Title:"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error Library". The text of the message reads:
"Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe.

This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the applications support team for more information."

Can anyone explain this?

Answer 1

For consumer help with Ie select the Help>Online Support menu and follow the links for your windows and Ie versions.

visual C++ runtime library errors are caused by addons or third party software.

this forum is for questions about html, css and scripting for website developers.

Dear All,

SOLVED

Through further investigation I have discovered that this is not an IE problem or an Adobe problem but an AVG problem; this is acknowledged by AVG who do not have a published fix at the moment but advise users to, ..."disable the toolbar." Please see the link http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=205537#post_205537

I hope this helps others.

these are public forums... I do not work for nor represent MS... I presume the person who referred you to this forum was a volunteer also or perhaps he meant to refer you to the IE Consumer forum....

at the top of each MSDN forum you will find the Subject line for each forum... so now you know... visual C++ is not a web technology. (well it does not come down the line as a web resource).
