Help! My wife is threatening to kill me - because I can't figure out why
Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0.2. won't work on my pc once I have opened Explorer.

I removed and reinstalled acrobat reader and it opened and worked fine. But
as soon as I then opened MS Internet Explorer and either clicked on a pdf
link in Explorer or went back directly to Acrobat Reader it simply froze up.
When I then went to warm boot the pc showed that a Adobe Acrobat process was
running and needed a manual 'end now' before it could close.

Prior to opening Explorer I used Outlook 2002 and clicked on a pdf link
there and it worked fine - taking me to a website in Explorer...

The whole exercise has cost me lots of time and stress and if anyone can
help me - I would really appreciate it!

Thanks.
