Internet Explorer Hangs on PDF

I have a problem with Internet Explorer and Adobe reader. If I try to
open a pdf file or link to a pdf document from a web page IE hangs and
displays a blank screen showing its trying to download. However, if I
right click on the document, I could download it and Adobe reader can
open it. The problem occurs only if I am opeing the document from
within Explorer. I have installed and uninstalled Reader, 6,7 and 8
no dice. I checked to make sure the options to open pdf within
explore is checked in Adobe Reader and that the add-ons from Adobe are
enabled. What else can I do. Please help. I have Vista 32 bit.

Have you installed the latest version of the Adobe Reader, version 8.1?
Other than that, the best you can do is ask in the Adobe Reader support
forums:

Are you sure it's hanging? Sometimes what happens when you
open a pdf using adobe in IE is that the stupid Adobe "there's probably
maybe a new upgrade or something can I go check huh can I can I?" window
pops UNDER the browser window and waits for you to click yes or no. The
browser looks hung but there's really a popup popped up UNDER it waiting
for you.

Another option is to go into Adobe Reader options and select when clicking on
a PDF link in IE to open the PDF in a new Adobe Reader window.
