FM 5.5.6 and Distiller 4.0.5 works fine on NT, I have it myself.
The first lesson should be to not update or install new software
close to a deadline... What version of Acrobat/Distiller did you
have before and why did you change?

You should start by downloading the latest AdobePS printer driver
from Adobe (called someting like Universal installer 1.0.x).
Do not use Microsoft's PS driver for the Distiller printer.
Delete the Acrobat Distiller printer instance (not the application)
and reinstall it using the downloaded AdobePS driver installer.
Make sure to locate the Adist4.ppd file when you see a dialog
listing the "Generic printer" (don't OK that choice!).

Then try again by printing to PS file with the Acrobat Distiller
printer selected (not a physical printer), and then run that PS
file through the Distiller application.
