are you trying to open the files directly in your web browser?

that's supposed to work, but sometimes it's easier to save them to your hard drive and open from there.

I would reinstall adobe acrobat, and be sure it is compatible with your computer's operating system.

If adobe doesn't work go to cnet.com and download foxit reader, IMO it is 10 times better than adobe, doesn't get hung up as often. Anything you try to open in adobe will open in foxit if you make it your default reader.:)
