    What happens if you download the PDF to your hard drive, and open it locally?

    OK. You have something not kosher going on with your system. This is beyond just an Acrobat / IE7 thing.

    i had this problem before when i was still using adobe acrobat pro... I tried to reinstall it but with no luck the same thing happened... so i was left with no choice but to uninstall it.... I just used adobe reader to view files and used word processors like Office 2007 and word perfect to edit my pdfs...

    I think this is the bug of adobe acrobat pro... this has been reported several times... unfortunately adobe haven't come up with solution....

    i also think that maybe adobe pro is also having problem of compatibility with windowblinds....

    ok some people said this solution will work:

    "The suggestion to delete the 'organizer70' folder files works perfectly. Just go into Documents & Settings and find that folder under your user name. Delete the files in that folder and relaunch Arcobat. It worked like a charm for me. "

    have you ever disabled acrotray.exe? this might be also causing the problem.
