Acrobat 8.1 Professional Stopped Working

I downloaded and installed the 8.1 Professional Update for my Creative Suite.
I now get the message "Acrobat 8.1 Has Stopped Working". "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available".
 
Note: I'm on Vista Home Premium and everything was working fine with 8.0, but the machine won't let me go back to 8.0. It keeps re-installing 8.1. I've re-installed the complete Creative Suite but no luck. My machine is a Dell Inspiron E1505. How can I get Acrobat working again? it is used in a Production environment so I need it back ASAP.
 
Help! Any solutions, please?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

This suggestion should be considered a last resort. Backup important files. Uninstall Creative Suite. Check your registry to make sure all reference of Creative Suite has been removed. Re-install Creative Suite. Go to the Adobe site, download and install the new updates for Windows Vista OS running Creative Suite. This should solve the problem. If not, please re-post this issues for another expert to answer.

I have the same issue.

I formated my notebook and reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium. Installed Creative Suite. Run Adobe update.

The same issue persists. It stopped working after a few seconds when running Acrobat.

The same issue occur with other programs in the suite too.

I have the same issue.
I think it happens when Distiller scans the Fonts folder.
Reinstalling doesn't help.

I didn't find any resolution posted in any of the forums.

I appreciate if anyone has a solution.
