I had the same problem today. To resolve I found a PDF file, right clicked it, select properties and went to General tab. Then you probably see Opens with set to Adobe 5. Click the Change button to bring up a browser. Browse to the path where AcroRd32.exe is and click that after making sure the "Always use this program to open files of this type is clicked". This should complete the association. At least it worked for me.
