I have recently started using Vista (SP1) and have found that I can't open pdf files sent as Windows Mail attachments or when trying to download them from websites. With Windows Mail I get "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel" and with Firefox I get "Acrobat plug-in - Could not launch Acrobat." I have done all of the usual things (Control Panel, Default Programs, Set Associations) and the pre-installed Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 8.1.2) is associated with pdf files. But they don't open when in the form of attachments - I first have to save them to disc and they open from there. Can you help resolve this problem? (I am OK with .doc and .ppt files)
