I am having trouble opening some PDF's on the web...

My computer has Windows Vista with Acrobat 5 & Adobe Reader 9 installed. Adobe Reader is set as the default program to open PDF's.

The following link opens successfully in Adobe Reader <http://earth.google.com/userguide/v4/google_earth_user_guide.pdf>

But I cannot open these files
 <http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iphone_user_guide.pdf>
 <http://era.nih.gov/Docs/eSNAP_UG_August2003.pdf>

The following error message appears: "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit & try again."

It then opens a blank Acrobat window. This message perplexes me since I do have Reader version 9 installed.

Why does this happen & what can I do to fix it?
