Have you tried foxit reader HERE.

I was about to say Foxit too but I was beaten to it :-)

Honestly, how can you justify a 200 meg program to read PDF files when Foxit can do it at 7 megs?

It's a lot more light weight than Adobe - just make sure you untick install google toolbar on install (unless you want it of course).

All it is doing is opening PDF's so should be fine. Another trick is to right click and save the PDF then open it - sounds strange but sometimes works!

Have you tried using another browser? It could be the security settings on the browser stopping the PDF being passed to Adobe.

I used to swear by Foxit but I found it was getting a bit bloated and harder to customise the way I wanted it. In fact it was getting a bit like the old Adobe. However the latest version of Adobe Reader 9.2 is 26MB. Not exactly 200MB.

I've been using Adobe Reader again for a while now and I find it more seamless with Windows than Foxit.
