Adobe Acrobat 9 installed, but cannot read any PDF file from a browser window

I have a PC with Vista new(-ish) and had Adobe Acrobat installed v9.  However I can not open PDF files when you try to view in a browser on a web site.  IE8, Firefox, and Chrome all produce the same error that says I have to install Adobe 8 or 9.  Resulted to searched 'Manage Add-ons' and found Adobe.  Drove around but can't seem to find a way to solve this problem.  Any ideas?  This seems so basic that it is hard to believe that it happened in the first place, and (b) that there is not an obvious way to fix it!

I have exactly the same problem but with Windows XP SP3. Unfortunately, I can not install different browsers because of security controls in the DoD. It wasn't a problem with Adobe Reader 8.1.6 installed as pdf would open in IE7. Until I installed Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.2 is that it became a problem. IE7 crashes just trying to open a pdf file. Even if I try line Open all File Types and select a local pdf file, it crashes always upward.

I went through every possible case, IE7 option and registry permissions without result. Adobe support leans on it. I think it's a matter of ActiveX control (file).
