pdf links freezing my ie6

A week or two ago my IE6 browser (in Win XP)
started freezing if I clicked any links to pdf docs.

It begins to open the pdf doc, then nothing ...

I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat version 6, and
and installed Adobe Acrobat version 7.
- No joy.

Tried downloading and installing SP2
- no joy.

It's a work PC so it's got a virus checker and
I'm pretty sure I haven't even been near any
sites remotely likely to be sus nor had any
strange email attachments and the security
level is always at least medium - I don't think
it's had a chance to get any malware.

Can't seem to find other posts or MSKB articles
about this.

Any suggestions?

TIA
Tom
