I have a problem with at least 2 computers that cannot open an acrobat document from the web using Acrobat Reader 5 and both Internet Explorer and Netscape.  It shows the error "file does not start with %pdf".  The files are valid acrobat files because another computer in the office can open it just fine.  However, it is running Acrobat Reader 4. 

Is there a known problem with Reader 5 concerning this?  If so, where can I download version 4?  I can't seem to find it on the web. 

Thanks for any help.
