Update:

In the few cases like my that are documented, I saw one thread  online
whereby people said the gui would come up after a long wait, ie,
greater than one hour.

I started the application (Acrobat 7 Pro) last night before leaving,
and now this am (some 16+ hours later) the program is running.

So the case is not actually 'no gui' it is 'gui takes extremely long
time to start'.

Any tips appreciated still!

Found the fix for this one after 7 hours of googling.   Only *one*
valid hit on this in the entire Internet.

The delay is caused from the program trying to read/cache/open all its
own temp files.   Somehow, excess files are created (many/most of them
zero byte, in my case). Deleteing these files restores program
function.

The files are found in:
Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp

Use search or command shell to look at the files that match:

acr*.tmp

Delete them all, and retry the application.

My sick computer had 4700 of these.  My ow PC, on which acrobat reader
7.0.3 works fine, currently has only 2 files like this.

Hope this helps a fellow admin in the future.

Thanks AceyMan ! I had exactly the same problem though I found about
150,000 of these tmp files in my Temp directory.

Makes me wonder why Adobe would do such a stupid thing ? Has cost me a
couple of hours now.
