    That's listed as an NX issue with 64-bit processors. Do you run on a 64-bit
    processor?

    There's a link in that page about how to turn off the NX protection (also
    known as DEP - Data Execution Prevention). You might also ask Adobe if
    they've fixed the problem (maybe they'll require you to update).

    As I'm really fond of saying, it's not so much that SP 2 breaks
    applications, it's that SP 2 refuses to expose itself by making allowances
    for broken applications in the name of backwards compatibility.

    Alun.
