I had a very similar problem when installing adobe 7.0 from the
jfwlite page in that widnows would not take the file association even
when I tried to define it manually. all the time Adobe Rader would
open and read a document just fine when I picked the "read" option
from the context menu of the file I wanted to open.

folder options. (I set pdf's to open in Finereader temporarily.) Then
I went back into the file options and manually changed the file
associations for pdf back to AR7 and it has worked perfectly for me ever since.

Hi all, especially Graham, I cleaned Adobe from my systme and then installed Adobe from the JFW site which Graham recommended. The only difference is that now my wife can't use it either. When you try to open it or click on a .PDF file, nothing happens. You don't get the familiar message about Windows wanting to know what program created the file.
