FYI, my computer stopped opening Acrobat images after Windows just force fed a new update. It was further confused by Firefox doing the same! I am not the most computer literate so I tried fixing it by resetting my computer to the last good working date. That worked fine, until both Win/Firefox again force fed updates. I read through the fixes above. I wasn't able to get the Acrobat repair to fix it. What worked was DawidRetief's cure from 20 June 08. Although mine did NOT give me the same options and I used the Acrobat 5.1 as that was what it showed available [I DO have Acrobat 8 installed!?]. I tried it. It works. I am somewhat confused BUT happy and very thankful for those of you who shared your wisdom John Rice
