Are you running WinXP SP2 or SP3?

1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode?

=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No add-ons).

Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode [Applies to IE7 &
IE8 in all OSS]

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737

3. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when you installed IE8?

4. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

1. The webpage does not open if I start IE in no add-ons mode-By the way, if
I close that IE window, when I open IE again, does it automatically go back
to 'add-ons' mode?

2. Problem exists even after resetting IE advance settings

3. AVG Free Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware vers 9.0.819 and Windows firewall-No
apps running when IE 8 installed.

No Norton/McAfree ever on this computer.

You might check the Adobe forums for a solution for someone else having a
similar problem.

A viable alternative to Adobe Reader is PDF-XChange Viewer
http://www.docu-track.com/product/downloads. It's free for home use, does
everything and more that Reader does, takes up fewer resources, and is
faster to load. I've used it for quite some time now and am very satisfied
with it. I am yet to have it lock up or cause problems in IE7 or IE8. And
you can beat the price :)

Does PDF-XChange Viewer have a built-in feature to 'bundle'several PDF files
into one file (unlike Adobe Reader) or willI still need separate spftware for
that?

According to the Help file, the Pro version (retail) allows dragging pages
from one PDF to another, then saving it, so I guess it could be done like
that. I didn't delve too deeply to see if there is any kind of page or size
limitation.
I don't know if Fox-it has that ability or not. I've used it, but liked
PDF-XChange viewer better. I don't remember exactly what they were, but
Fox-it had some quirks that I found irksome, so I uninstalled it.
