Reader 9 won't open PDF from web browser

well I'm glad you got your problem fixed. I, too, was going to uninstall reader 9, and possibly go back to an earlier version. However, I have a compouind problem in that my machine simply will NOT allow me to uninstall reader 9. I even paid for online support from Geek Squad but they could not uninstall it either. I think I may have downloaded the software from Hell.

I finally called our computer people who came out. He uninstalled Adobe 9.0 and reinstalled reader and writer. He also installed the driver on our scanner I had recently reconnected to the problem computer. Apparently I did not install the writer possible causing the problems opening our federal courts electronic filings.
I suggest to uninstall all and reinstall making sure all programs are loaded, reader and writer.
Good luck Tom on solving yours.

Deb, it appears you and I are in the same boat - up the river without a paddle. If you receive or figure out a solution, please let me know and I'll do the same. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep getting the same error. We still have Adobe Reader 5.0 still on the computer. Reader 8 is there and just updated to Reader 9. Should I uninstall Reader 5.0? Uninstall all and just reinstall 9? I'm pulling my hair out and need help soon.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Well I suppose I have multiple problems with Adobe. Mine started out like the above - could not open e-mail attachments - until I stated trying to " fix" the p[roblem. I cannot even open v9, NOR wil it allow me to uninstall it. I have nebver heard of this situation before.

I have Vista 64 bit annd after installing v9 I started having the problem of showing pdf's in web pages. I ran Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and let it install an update....my ie browser then started showing pdf's again.

I tried the "Help, Repair Adobe Reader Installation option", but it did not fix my problem of opening pdf's in a browser in Windows 7 Beta.

I had the same problem as No.87 - I used the solution provided by No. 74 - Open Adobe Reader 9 and click the Help, Repair Adobe Reader Installation option - it worked instantly.

I am having similar trouble - pdf file attachments will not open from Outlook Express. It only began to happen after I installed Adobe Reader 9.

Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

Yes, I know I can choose not to display in web browser and that works. However I want to get it to display in the web browser as it should.
