Hi,  I have got an .aspx page that ends up with an Response.Redirect("http://..../.../xxxx.pdf"). I want it to open the page in a browser within IE 6.0. using AR5. But proces hangs for me (as has happened with you )and stops with a blank window in IE6.0. On the other hand I have noticed that an earliere version IE 5.5 SP1 (NOT SP2!!)with AR5 coexist and do the job well on our win2000 clients.  
But we want to stay in with IE6.0. 
By chance we experienced that an IE6.0 brilliantly opens pdf files with an Adope Exchange 3.0 (we once did get with an HP9100C scanner). It works. But afterwards you cannot upgrade to AR4.0 because installation will undo the AR3.0 and you will be back to the "blank" browserwindow situation. 
We have also tried to copy a full Acrobat5.0 folder libary to a client and then make a association in windows to acrord32.exe. Despite that it seems that IE6.0 still remember to call the AR3.0 !! 
...That is where we stay at the moment.. 
Hope that we will come to a more authoritative solution at the end....
