mine does - I've got the most recent version.
Mine does, too, and I'm still using an old version (1.8.0.9).
Maybe you need to upgrade your Adobe Reader. I did that just recently.

Well, when hubby reimaged, I had to install it again so I know I'm on the latest version of Reader and it opens in IE just fine.

I know Adobe-anything is ubersensitive, so I'll just upgrade.

Firefox is the only browser I use, unless there is a site that it doesn't support, which has happened only once. I like the Javascript blocker, only allows script that you want and blocks stuff you don't trust.

You too about IE 7 huh? Somehow that screwed up the java on my computer and now I can't go to some sites because of it.
I can't get to ANY websites - it just sits and sits and sits - and locks up my computer.

I had a problem with IE7 until I disabled the "phishing filter".........NOW IT'S PERFECT!!!!! It's located on the bottom...just right click and go to settings.

The phishing filter might be the cause but there are many sites out that the new default settings of IE7 stop from functioning correctly. If the phishing filter is indeed the culprit the page being accessed is loading images/links from multiple urls and each url is analyzed by the filter.
