IE locks when closing a .pdf file

[Fred McNab]

If I view a pdf (in a new window or not) when I close
that window, it locks IE completely. It takes about two
minutes to clear and shuts down the browser. IE works
fine if I simply relaunch the application.

The same does not happen if I hit the "back" button to
exit from the .pdf view.

I have the most recent version of Adobe's viewer and all
Windows Updates.

Ideas?
