Can't Open attachments in OWA windows 7 and IE 8

When I try to download a .pdf from owa I'm getting the message:
Unable to download attachment.ashx from xxxx.xxx.com  Unable to open internet site.  The requested site is either unavailable or can't be found... Please try again later.  I tried looking at the permissions in application data, temp/low but that had no effect.  I don't think this is an exchange error because it's only happening on 1 or 2 machines.

Try reinstalling adobe reader if it is already installed, uninstalled from program features first then reinstall from adobe website,
You may like to use Revo Uninstaller (free) for uninstallation.

uninstalled and reinstalled adobe and no change.
Right click on attachment
select
save target as
download the file
and then open with PDF Reader
even if that does work, my users are not that efficient and will not be able to do this.  I'm in need of a solution.  thanks.
does it work if adobe reader is already opened?  also try going into adobe reader and unchecking the open in protected mode option.
1.Open up Adobe Reader X
2.On the Toolbar Menu go to Edit > Preferences
3.Go to the general tab under Categories.
4.Untick “Enable Protected Mode at Startup”
5.If asked if sure, click Yes and then Ok.
6.Now close Adobe Reader X and try opening the PDF again.
OK will try thax
Tried that but it didn't work
