March 31, 2008 To solve the pesky �file association problem� after installing a �new� Adobe Acrobat Reader software program in Windows XP, try this: 1. RIGHT-CLICK on the icon of the older �problem� pdf file that you�re trying to open. 2. A menu window will appear. In this window, click �open with.� 3. Another menu window will appear listing most of the programs on your had drive. If you have installed a �new� Acrobat Reader, it should be there. Click ONLY ONCE (do not double-click) on it to highlight it. 4. In the same window, near the bottom -- but NOT in the list of programs -- there is box labeled �Always use the selected program to open this kind of file.� Click on this box. 5. Click �OK.� This should solve the problem for ALL Adobe Reader pdf files on your hard drive. Hope this helps!
