pdf files

i installed windows updates and now pdf files will not open. in fact, when i
try to open, my computer freezes and hangs forever. only way to get out is
shut down manually. I did a system restore to remove updates but i still
can't open pdf files. tried to remove and re-install adobe but it won't let
me remove it and when i try to upgrade from 7.0 to 7.5 i get error 1714. i
read on ms website that a patch for these problems was due on 4/11/06 but i
can't find it.
thank you

I am battling with the same problem. Have you found a way to fix it?
