How can I have a different version of Adobe start a program?

Whenever I go into a certain program, it always executes my own (purchased
full version of Adobe v6) That program however does not like that version
and wants another version of Adobe, which came free on my brand new
computer. It was of course not the full version, but a reader version only.
Is there a way, I can tell all programs to use the newer reader version, and
only use the older Adobe version when I want to?....I appreciate your help
very much. I'm using Vista Home Premium........Peter
