Acrobat Reader 9 & Windows 7

[stoofa]

I have installed Acrobat reader 9 under Windows 7 and all seems to be well.
I can launch the program and I can also simply double-click .pdf files I have on my machine.
If however I attempt to click on a link to a .pdf I get a blank error message pop-up with an "OK" button.
Click on this and the .pdf is not displayed in my browser.

This is obviously under IE8.

I'm assuming this is some kind of browser add-in/association problem.
Anyone else had the same and know how to fix?

Just installed Foxit and it is far superior to adobe. Lean, fast and so far no issues in IE or firefox.
