Fixed it. I was just that close to reformatting the hard drive. I never want to do that. Just too much data to restore. Then I figured it out; nothing that would likely be suggested, but SO MANY people seem to have the problem, and this DID work:

To make a VERY long story short, I remembered that I had a perfectly good
copy of Acrobat Reader (I had it configured for automatic updates) in my old
computer.

So I backed up just that file to a CD. Then I restored the file to the new
computer, placing it in Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat Reader, just as it
should be.

Then I chose "overwrite all files."

Then I went to the newly copied files, hit "setup" and there it was!

WinDoctor found some problems but was able to correct them.

Whew....
