File associations corrupted

[Abderrahman]

I am getting this strange behavior on a Windows XP Home system. I installed
Acrobat 8.1 and MSOffice Pro 2003.

I get an email on AOL with a PDF attachment. When I open it the first time I
get an error message (something like "file not found"). After that, I cannot
run acrobat reader at all. A command prompt window appears briefly.

Something similar happens with MSWord.

I had to re-install these 2 applications every time this happens. The funny
thing is that it does not happen every time I receive an attachment.

Please help

likely, if you have
reinstalled software
numerous times, then
the registry needs
maintenance:

also, microsoft products
are highly stable, so i think
its your acrobat causing problems,
especially if there are multiple
versions still installed or registered.

if it is a free reader you have,
then uninstall it, run a register
cleaner and install foxit reader
instead.
