Vista - Can't open udf on ie7 on vista Ultimate

Each time I try to open a pdf link on Vista Ultimate using IE or mozilla ,the
pc stops and give err msg such as can't open file please update registry.
pc is not working untill I kill the ie/mozilla.
the only way for me to read those pdfs is to save target asto my pc and
then to open.
Any idea what to do in this case??
Thank you for your input

You could install / reinstall Adobe Acrobat 8 and see if that fixes things.

Just to say that PDF's do open OK in IE7 under Vista (for me), so the
suggestion to reinstall seems worth a try. Could you have somehow
inadvertently changed IE7's settings to block Adobe?
