I and a couple of my colleagues are using Acrobat Reader on Windoze 2000 and are getting occasional zombie AcroRd32.exe processes.  When you have this you double click on a PDF document and nothing happens.  Going into Task Manager and killing the process fixes this and everything works fine again. 

Does anyone know why this happens and if there is a way to permanently fix it? 

I've scoured the Internet for information about this problem and I have found this page http://www.physik.uni-oldenburg.de/docs/cip/faq.html <http://www.physik.uni-oldenburg.de/docs/cip/faq.html> but this page only tells you how to fix it once it has happend. 

Many thanks in advance 
Richard
