How do I open in a new window instead of a new tab with IE9?

You can eliminate tabbed browsing easily by going into the menu bar>Tools>Internet Options and clicking on the Settings button under Tabs. Once on the next screen simply uncheck the Enable Tabbed Browsing box seen at the top there. All new secondary pages will be seen in new windows.

Internet Explorer Tabbed Browsing - Enable or Disable

As far as Adobe X that would be active X controls where you will be prompted to install them when first arriving at different sites at times. That's typical with any recent fresh install or upgrade of IE when you see that come up.

Microsoft stands by decision to ban IE9 from XP

IE again loses share, but Microsoft won't second-guess move to limit newest browser to Vista, Windows 7

By Gregg Keizer
Computerworld - Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) again lost ground to Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome last month, even as the company launched its newest browser, Web metrics data showed today.
But Microsoft stands behind its decision to limit IE9 to users running Windows Vista and Windows 7.
"It was a very deliberate decision," said Ryan Gavin, senior director of IE, talking about the move to exclude XP users from IE9. "You simply can't build on something that is 10 years ago."
Gavin said that Microsoft "has no second thoughts" about its decision.
According to California-based Net Applications, one of several companies that regularly publishes browser usage data, IE lost nine-tenths of a percentage point of share in March, falling to 55.9%, another record low.
IE9, which debuted more than two weeks ago, accounted for 1% of all browsers, a five-tenths of a point jump over February.
But older editions of IE dropped by more than what IE9 gained

With the semiconductor market in shambles for at least the six month due to the meltdown in the land of the Rising Sun, I don't look for things to improve much for IE in terms of share over the next six months.

No I am talking about Adobe Acrobat X, the pdf website coverter isn't getting the whole webpage on when converting some webpages to pdf. And sometimes when you open a PDF from IE9 it puts it in a small window that you can't make fullscreen. Obviously it will be an Adobe issue to fix, but if IE9 is a fail they may not bother. Hope not.

That would be Adobe Acrobat Reader not X as in active x controls. You also go with Sumatra as an alternative pdf reader. Free PDF Reader - Sumatra PDF by Krzysztof Kowalczyk

So far I haven't opened more then a few pages like user manuals but didn't have any problems besides bringing text size up to 100% from 43%.

On the pages where you are having problems check to see if you are able to first download the file and read it locally from the drive. I've done that at times with IE 7 as well as 8 when a problem was seen reading from a web page.

Latest version is referred to as Adobe Reader X, and the source of the confusion

glenda17 · 03 Apr 2011

No still not right I am talking about the Adobe AcrobatX Pro, the one I paid several hundred dollars for, not the reader. It integrates with IE, alows one to convert webpages to PDF, modify PDF's, etc.

Ok! You went for the full software package then not the free reader through the usual updates. That's what you didn't mention earlier and why I was looking at the other.

Unfortunately now you will have to wait for someone esle who also went for Acrobat X or look over the support site for any troubleshooting info that could help there. You could be running into some type of compatibility issue with the new version of IE as one possibility however. Adobe may have to release a patch or correct that in updates.

Speaking about pdf readers something came up regarding let's say a rumor for the next version of IE as well as Windows regarding MS including their own reader? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/05/windows_8_appx/

I may be off track but I had problems with downloading SP1 and some other bits and pieces. Someone recommended I got the update readiness tool from M$.

Did that and I havn't had a problem since.

It may help but isn't going to harm anyway trying.
By the by make sure you pick the bit version you want from memory I downloaded 64 and 32 bit sections for 7.
Good luck!
