I just recently purchased Dell Laptop E6500 with Windows 7 installed. When trying to launch .pdf files from e-mail, my system automatically starts Windows Media Center. I went out to the web and loaded Adobe Reader version 9. I read it works fine with Windows 7. When trying to launch .pdf files from e-mail attachments I still get WIndows Media Center trying to read the files and not the Adobe Reader I installed. Do I need to change some settings somewhere to make the Adobe Reader work?

When you open .pdf files that are on your desktop, in which application do they open? If they don't open in Adobe Reader then right-click on a .pdf file and select "Open with > Adobe Reader" from the context menu.
Technically, that should fix the problem with launching PDF files from your e-mail as well.
