Using IE7 and Reader 8. When I go to a web site offering PDFs and click on the link to try to open the pdf file I get a dialog box that states - "Cannot use Adobe Reader to run PDF in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again."

If I exit and try agian no success, however if, when in the dialog box, I click Cancel twice, the pdf file opens.

How can I overcome this problem.

No problems with Firefox, Opera or Netscape.

I do not have any problems opening pdf files direct from the file or from within Reader 8.
