When starting reader 9 by clicking a PDF or opening a PDF from a browser, on some machines reader starts, but hangs after start, not displaying the PDF, eventually "Not Responding" in the taskmanager.

When starting reader first, then opening the same PDF's trough "File-Open...", everything works perfectly.

When monitoring this with procmon, i found out it hangs on trying to read:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Resource\TypeSupport\Unicode\Mappings\win\CP932.txt"

Indeed that file does not exist on the pc, but it also isn't there on workstations that work correctly.
When copying an existing CP*.txt file and renaming this to CP932.txt everything works like clockwork!

I know these are codepage mapping files...

Can somebody tell me why this file is needed when launching reader by clicking a PDF, and not when starting reader, then opnening the PDF?

What problems can it cause to take another CP*.txt and copy/rename that to CP932.txt? Ok, codepage mappings will not be correct, but is this file used and when is it used?

Thanks in advance for any reply,

Thomas Verschuren
