Could be something in IE security zones has gotten changed/messed up. You could try using the reset button and then gpupdate to re-apply any policies you use (or reconfigure manually).
I also don't have trouble doing this on my x64 Win7 machine, but our local (internal) domain name is part of our trusted sites zone (by policy) and we map the drives using DNS names.

When he double-clicks a local PDF file it opens and renders fine. When he double-clicks a PDF file on a mapped drive or non-local resource, Adobe Reader fails to open. If I right-click a PDF and choose Adobe Reader it fails to open. There are two Acro32* processes in Task Manager which have to be killed. However, I've been able to open PDFs on a network resource by opening Reader first and navigating to the file, or by right-clicking the file and browsing to Reader and setting it as the default program (it already is). Then the file opens fine. I I pinned Reader to his start menu and if he highlights it a menu of recent PDFs is displayed and he and he can select even a remote PDF and it opens fine. Obviously, he'd prefer to be able to to just double-click any PDF and have it open. FoxIT isn't an option because some of the PDFs he references are encrypted and require Adobe Reader. Any suggestions?
