Same set-up except I use Firefox instead of Outlook Express.

Had a similar problem, but just happen to have "FoxIt" (free) also 
loaded on my computer. When I attempt to open an attached pdf Firefox 
asks me what I want to do with it and offers a selection of "Foxit" or 
"Other" . I select Foxit, and it opens fine.
