This is not what is happening. Sat I click to open I.E. from my desktop, Reader opens and I get this error message:

Every time I try to open a desktop item I.E., Firefox, any shortcut or even my add/remove program in the control panel, an adobe reader window opens with a smaller window inside with an error message with the program I am trying to open, including trying to open Adobe reader to create a PDF file.

To open any of these, I have to right click and click on the open button.

The error message goes like this:

Adobe Reader could not open (acrobat.com.exe) because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged, for example,
 it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded. This error message will come up the same for everything th
at I try to open, decktop shortcuts, whatever.

How can I fix this problem? I have uninstalled and installed several times, getting the same results?

Frank!!!
