Can't open .pdf files directly

If I click directly on any .pdf file from say the desktop, and I get the following error:

"C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxxxx\Desktop\xxxxxxxxxx.pdf is not a valid Win32 application."

But I can open the file if I go into Adobe Reader 6.0 first and open the .pdf file from there....

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

 

bullseye,

Do you have Acrobat 6 reader or the full professional version (writer as well)?

Just the Reader

 

If the problem is only with Acrobat 6 (reader only free version) then I would suggest you remove the program through the control panel, Add/Remove and download version 7.0 from the link below.

Let us know.

I'm embarrassed that it was that simple to fix. Thanks for your help Steve.

 

Glad it worked for you.
