I have Acrobat 5.0 which was working very nicely.

Then I installed Adobe Reader 8.0.

Now when I try to start Acrobat 5.0,
Adobe Reader 8.0 STARTS!!!!!

They are installed in separate folders.

Can someone please give me specific instructions on how I can get my
Acrobat 5.0 back?

I have already uninstalled Reader 8.0. That did work, but I had to
install in again because some new .pdf's required it.

TIA

Hi,

uninstall Acrobat 5.0 and then install it again.

I had the same problem and could solve it in this way.

Good luck

Gert

All you have to do is to go into any folder and under "tools" you'll
find "folder options". When you installed Reader 8. It associated
pdf files with itself. Just to to File Associations and change the
association back to Acrobat 5. (if you're running Vista, you can also
do this in "file associations" from the start button.)
