Can't open Adobe PDF files

I have recently found I can't open Adobe PDF files from Outlook. The
problem occurs irrespective of whether I click on the icon on the start-up
screen or on the Adobe attachment to icon at the bottom of an e-mail.
Either nothing happens, or the Adobe picture comes up and freezes. There
is never any appearance or movement of the characteristic words in the
bottom right-hand corner of the adobe picture.

I have Adobe Reader 6, have run Scandisk and have run the repair function
on Adobe 6.

The Adobe.com trouble-shooting function includes a wide range of
suggestions that centre upon incorrect settings. It is difficult to
believe that these could be the answer because I used to be able to open
up PDF files. The suggestions involve disabling other applications which
I'm hesitant to do. In fact most of the suggestions require a level of
technical expertise I don't have.

I run Windows XP Home Edition, and Outlook 98. I also run ViaVoice 10,
but a search of the Internet indicates no known history of incompatibility
with Adobe 6.

If I click on the Adobe icon on the start-up screen, then after the Adobe
picture has frozen, a section of the next application opened also freezes
within the boundaries of the Adobe picture.

Can anyone help?
