Installed 7.0 on my Dell Windows XP, but it won't open! If I double-click 
on a .pdf file I get an hourglass for 5 seconds, then nothing. No splash 
screen, no error messages, nothing.

If I single-click on the file, I see the mini version of the .pdf document 
in the Detail area of Windows Explorer, so something is working.

Any reason why the application itself never comes up?

Try right-clicking on a PDF and select "Open With"... Then navigate to 
the application and define it. I'm asumming that you can launch Acrobat 
7 (reader?) directly with no problems.
Hope this helps,
