Brian,

It sounds as though you may be encountering the problem a small number of
users have when moving to a newer version of Reader.  Although the
application installs correctly, for some reason the Registry associations
for PDF are not updated and thus the OS looks in the wrong place for the
Reader program (AcroRd32.exe).

If you open Reader and then use "File -> Open" to open a PDF do PDFs open
without further error?  If so you've probably got the above problem and
might find my notes at http://www.acrobatfaq.com/repairext.htm to be of
help.

> Well, I've installed Acrobat Reader.  When I try to open a pdf file, I
receive the message that the computer cannot find "AcroRd32.exe."  The files
were set to open up as pdf files before I downloaded Acrobat Reader.  Any
suggestions?  I've got several important files I can't get to.
