Karen,

A friend of mine had the same problem. I found that he had several versions
of the reader installed on his computer. We uninstalled all of them and then
installed the latest version from Adobe's web site. It works like a champ
now.  I've seen other posts online of people with the same problem and
solving it the same way.
