Solution:
Start Adobe Reader X on the client computer and under menu
edit - preferences
select general dialog
uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
click OK
Then start Cognos Controller Client, and test a standard report again.
This change is saved per user on the client, so the best is if the IT department can roll out this change of Adobe Reader with a GPO.
