I have installed adobe acrobat reader abot 10 times looking for some way to 
get it to open a pdf file
I had to resort to a 5.0 install on an old driver install disk to get my 
insurance papers, but would like to get the newer version to work
is there something I am doing wrong
an old install removed messed it up or something
is there a setting that needs to be changed
I did have one bit of info that came when I used norton registry checker

The key, "acrobat\DefaultIcon, refers to a missing icon, "C:\Program 
Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\AcroRd32.exe"

this is the only thing I ever found
I have done a check looking for anything that had adobe in it and removed it 
after doing the "remove programs " process
and still no go
please help me

the program is installed right now
the pdf files I have changed their icons to the pdf icon so something is 
working just the program will not open by double clicking and I cant even 
directly open the program
