Acrobat 8.0 Shuts Down

When I am using Acrobat 8.0 it shuts down.
 
When I open up a document in the program, it shuts down a few seconds after I start.
 
If I try to convert a document to .pdf, it doesn't convert, as Acrobat shuts down half way through.
 
Can anyone help?
 
Thanks.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

This did not work. I tried re-installing.

Hi,

I think I found a workaround.

Not the most handy one but at least it works, and doesn't require any reinstallation or patch or anything :

When you launch Acrobat 8, [b]just before it shuts down, in the"Help" menu do "Repair Acrobat Installation"[/b].
By doing that, you will have Acrobat repairing itself in the background. While doing that, it won't shut down and you can still work.


Try it ! It works on my Vista 64.


Good luck !

Axel.
