I had the VERY frustrating issue of not being able to open a PDF in a browser window after installing Acrobat Reader 9. Looks like the problem was rooted in the fact that I had a browser open when installing Acrobat Reader 9, which seems to confuse things. Solution (as above): Uninstall Acrobat Reader. Make sure all browsers are closed, then re-install. Suggestion for Adobe: if you need us to close all browser windows when installing your software, then make us do so! It took me nearly two hours of my workday to fix this issue!
