PDF does not open in IE 6.0 using Acrobat 5.0

Here are my current scenarios:
a) PDF opens fine with Reader 6.0 (no Acrobat installed) in IE 6.0.
b) PDF does not open when Acrobat 5.0 and Reader 6.0 are both installed
in IE 6.0. Browser defaults to using the full Acrobat for PDF's if it
is installed on machine.  I don't think I can bypass this option for
all users in the universe.
c) PDF opens fine with Acrobat 5.0 and Reader 6.0 when file is
downloaded to local machine from IE 6.0.

What gives on (b)??  When (b) takes place, IE crashes and asks to send
Microsoft an error report.  The Acrobat.exe stops as well.  I've seen a
ton of posts on the subject, but I can't seem to fine the answer that
works for me.  Is it as simple as how the document was created?  If so,
I know (or so I'm told) that the PDF was created in Acrobat 5.0.  Seems
like all should be well.

Thanks in advance, Folks!
