User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040426
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040426

When I try going to a site that ends on .asp I get only garbage text on screen.
Loads fine in IE6, not in Mozilla 1.8a (tried two builds, earlier was of 22-04-04).

Acrobat Reader doesn't associate with Mozilla anymore, so PDF files are opened
as garbage as well. I have reinstalled Acrobat reader, also for Mozilla but this
didn't help.

Adding to it, it would seem it's not all sites with PDF files that have
problems. I can easily open them from a source as Asus, yet Gigabyte gives
problems. 

Unless it's a problem with the Gigabyte site.

Can anyone get the English manual from this site?

The nvidia link you provided works for me. There can't be a general problem with
pages that end with .asp since ASP is a server-side technology and such pages
are delivered to the browser as ordinary HTML pages (in most cases).

When I click on the disk icons on the Gigabyte-page I get an HTML page informing
me the selected file is not available. The page is displayed normally.

Loading any page with an .asp link in gives something like the following on my
system; I made a screenshot.

If it's not Mozilla, could it be something in my system that I need to check?

You could try to clear Mozilla's browser cache:
Edit|Preferences...|Advanced|Cache|Clear Cache

I can imagine this could be caused by a cache corruption, but this is more or
less a wild guess.

As you can see from the status of this bug, I changed it to Worksforme. :)

The clearing of the cache did it. 
Any place I can send the money to? ;)

Thanks!
