Default PDF files fail

Today, for the first time, when I try to open a pdf file
on Internet Explorer, I always get "unable to open page."
Other links work OK. I'm running Adobe Acrobat 4 (full
program) and also have Acrobat 7 reader installed. These
programs work on files on my hard drive, but not on a
link on the Internet. Any answers?

Launch Internet Explorer and from its Toolbar select:
Tools Internet Options Advanced and place a check
next to "Enable third-party browser extensions" and
click Apply.

If the above suggestion does not work, uninstall your
Adobe Reader, then download and reinstall it.
