Adobe Reader does not display PDFs 90% of the time now. It loads them, but the viewport usually shows leftover information from other program windows that are currently open. I receive no error messages and the problem occurs in stand-alone Reader as well as inside browser windows. The problem occurs with all sizes of PDFs.

I recently performed a Windows repair install, if it is relevant. I have installed my latest video card drivers, updated DirectX files, and also removed and re-installed all Adobe products in an attempt to solve the problem. I had version 8.1 of Reader, but now have version 9 with the same problem.

Any suggestions?
