I try to launch a PDF file on our company website and all I get is a blank page with a placeholder icon is shown, instead of showing the file with Acrobat Reader. Only one pc out of 250 is having this symptom, HELP!!!!!
 
Close all Internet Explorer windows, then go to Start>Run, and type:
regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\ActiveX\pdf.ocx"

Now open IE again or shutdown and restart completely.

If that dioesn't do it, I'd uninstall Adobe, then run RegClean, then re-install it.
