When you save the file to disk, do you double click it to open or do you open Acrobat
Reader and then open the file from there?

If the double click fails, then the problem is likely the file association for PDF files.
See the Identifying Attachment File Types and Setting File Associations section of
Decoding Internet Attachments - A Tutorial

If the double click works, then the problem is likely the IE Temporary Internet Files.
Try clearing it.
IE5+: Tools, Internet Options, General, Temporary Internet Files, Delete Files
Temporary Internet Files Use More Disk Space Than Specified
