I FOUND A SIMPLE SOLUTION--I'M RUNNING VISTA AND ADOBE READER 9:

Like the rest of you I was getting this error message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."

Here's the simple solution:
1. Open Adobe 9
2. Select Help on main Toolbar
3. Select "Repair Adobe Reader Installation"

It's working fine for me now.

Hope this saves someone the time that I wasted trying to figure this out.
