Adobe pdf Reader has stopped working?

Question

My Adobe pdf reader has stopped working. Where I have pdf files saved, the "adobe" icon has vanished. And when I try to open existing files or new pdf attachments it attempts to open them using Word and I get a "file conversion" screen.

I have tried all the obvious. I have un-installed all the Adobe software and reinstalled and I have checked for newer versions - nothing has worked.

I am using Vista.

Any suggestions please (in simple English as I am technophobic!)

its faster,smaller and simpler to use

 Adobe Reader is a trusted software you can use for reliably viewing, printing, and annotating PDF documents. It?s the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all types of PDF content, including forms and multimedia.

Word has associated its self to the .pdf file. Here is your fix.
Right click on the file and select properties
Click the change button where it says to open with
Choose the adobe reader and press ok and apply.
This should take care of it so long as you have adobe reader installed.

I second foxit reader. It's the best PDF viewer available, and it uses so much less memory & disk space than acrobat. Enjoy your Adobe Freedom.
