I can't get Acrobat Reader (i.e. Adobe Reader 9) to run ==> RuntimerError

[ship]

Hi

Help!
I can't get Acrobat Reader to run.

I just uninstalled and then re-installed "Adobe Reader 9" in my
Windows XP (SP3) PC.
I have a roaming profile (which I hate but apparently I'm stuck with
it).

I cant get Adobe Reader to even open on its own without an error.
The error is:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Rutime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an
unusual way.
Please contact [blah-blah]

- Should I re-install the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library?
(If so how the heck do I so that?!)

- Or should I download an earlier version of Adobe Acrobat?

- Or do I need to do open heart surgery on the registry
(I have NO idea how to do that stuff, btw)


Help!

With thanks

P.S. I do NOT have Adobe Acrobat installed on my PC.

The best place for support is Adobe Systems' website and user forums:
http://www.adobe.com/support/reader/ . You have to register to post in the
user forums.

Just in case anyone else is having this problem, be aware this is a known bug
in Adobe Reader OR Acrobat if your Application Data directory is redirected
to a UNC path via Group Policy (as is common when using Roaming Profiles):
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5c482/33

Adobe haven't fixed it, and the only workaround is to assign the network
share a drive latter and redirect to the drive letter, or to use
Reader/Acrobat v.8.1.2 which does not have this bug.
