Hi Philip,

Sounds like the Adobe Reader installation failed.
Try to uninstall if possible in Control Panel | Software
Download reader again (previous download could be corrupted).
Re-install Reader.
Update reader.

pdf files should now have correct icons and associations.

HTH,
John7

Along the same lines, since the last updates a few days ago from the XP
autoupdate, Adobe Reader 7 fails to open properly in IE 6. 8 MS updates
were installed at that time. Adobe Reader 7 does work by itself. Since
that observation, an autoupdate also occurred last night with Adobe Reader
7, turned off PC last night afterwards. Adobe wants to reboot again this
morning. Haven't done that yet.

Works fine for me.

You probably should reboot and then, maybe, it will work.
