Solution 1: Change the Microsoft Office install root location in the registry.

Important: The following steps require you to modify the Windows registry. Modifications to the Windows registry, if not done correctly, can cause serious problems to a Windows operating system. The information is provided as a courtesy. This information has been found to cause the error message and should correct the error. If you have reservations about modifying the registry please contact Microsoft Office technical support. Back up the registry before making modifications. More information on how to back up the registry can be found on the Microsoft support site at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756.



1.Click Start, and then click Run. The Run dialog box opens.

2.In the Open field, type regedit, and then click OK. The Registry Editor opens.

3.Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\[Version Number]\Common\InstallRoot and select the InstallRoot key. In the right pane, check for a value named Path.

4.Right-click Path and choose Modify. Redirect the value to the local installation folder for Microsoft Office.



Note: If the Path value does not exist, create it (right-click in inside the right pane and select New>String Value (REG-SZ) and set it to the path where the Microsoft Office folder is located on your computer. The default paths for Microsoft Office 2000-2007 are:



•Office 2000 - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office

•Office XP (2002) - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10

•Office 2003 - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11

•Office 2007 - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12

5.Repeat steps 4-5 for every version number found under the Office key.

6.Install Acrobat.

It sounds like maybe Adobe Reader is just jacked up.



My suggestion would be to download a different PDF reader (such as Fox It Reader).



You can download it here:
