Was there an Adobe update that got installed by any chance? On my home PC it prompted me to update to v9.2 (IIRC) just last night.
At my old place of employment, Adobe was a thorn in my side every so often. I remember having to visit each PC to uncheck a setting for PDFs not to open in IE. That was a few years ago. Haven't had many issues recently though. Don Guyer Systems Engineer - Information Services Prudential, Fox & Roach/Trident Group 431 W.

We've also tried downloading a PDF, then dragging it onto a browser window - still breaks! This is something we're sort-of used to, but to have so many go south (NOTHING do do with Daniel R's "test questions!) in so short a period - that had us wondering. BTW, these machines all broke BEFORE the big huge MS Patch Tuesday updates hit.
