I figured it out! For me it was a registry permission issue. Here is the registry key that it was trying to access, but I didn't have the right permissions:

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\Language\next

After I gave the Administrators group Full Control access to this registry key, Acrobat Reader 8 opened and everything is working now.

I used Process Monitor by SysInternals to track which registry keys it was trying to access. It showed that I was getting access denied errors when trying to request All Access. I hope this works for you.
