PDFs will not open

How can I get PDF files to open in Vista? I have Adobe 8.0 yet when I try
and open PDF files from the web they will not open. How do I get past this?

Adobe Reader had an update today. Try updating it and see if that helps.

Alias

Adobe is updated and still in PDF files are readable.

Make sure the Adobe Reader ActiveX is not disabled:

IE7: Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab > Manage add-ons

Also make sure Adobe Reader is set to be the default program for opening
..pdf files:

Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs

When trying to open a pdf file I get a message that says this program has
known compatibility problems. It prompt me to update but when I click run
the program I am able to open the files. Should I click on the update
feature?
Thanks

Use Foxit, does the same thing as Adobe with a lot less resources and
doesn't install install an updater that runs at startup.

I am guessing you get this message from Adobe Reader, and I suggest you
follow it's advice. Upgrade to version 8.1, it works with Vista.
