If by adobe acrobat you mean adobe reader, than yes I do. The version is
Adobe Reader 8.0, but I have downloaded that few days a go and my problem has been occurring since I downloaded Microsoft office 2007. And that was before downloading Adobe.

Check in your Event Viewer under 'Application'. There should be
Installer errors, warnings or info events there. Double-click and read them to see if there is a useful message. Often there is--that is how I discovered that Acrobat was causing this behavior on my machine. I suspect Graham is correct here; I had some problems while I was running 2007 and 2003. Solved it by uninstalling 2007. Damn thing drove me crazy--couldn't find stuff anymore. I wish MS, and all SW companies would fix problems instead of giving us new bloat we don't need. I also wish there was a 'Word Lite' version ('Word Elements'?) for writer folks like me who just need WP with styles, etc. No tables, images...

I did read something recently on how to fix it but it's a registry fix and I
can't access the directions now.
