PC is XP SP2 , spyware free, with all patches.

Acrobat Reader 7.0.3 would start but has no gui. You only see
AcroRd32.exe in the task manager.  Uninstall reinstall, no help.

Noticed that when the base version 7.0.0 is installed it will work
until a reboot, thereafter same problem (program runs with no gui).

Next tried uninstall everything, install full Acrobat 7.0.  (We have
media).   Acrobat 7 worked , until the next reboot.  After that,
acrobat.exe shows in task manager, but no program is visible.
Applying the .02, .03 updates no help.

Any tips appreciated, this is not documented online at all :(
