Hi dsenior,

It sounds as though your PDF file association may have been changed. To restore, you can try the following:
1. Click Start > My Computer.2. Choose Tools > Folder Options, and click File Types.3. Scroll down to the extension PDF and click Restore.

You can also try the Repair Installation Command under the Help menu to see if this corrects the problem.

Hope this helps,
Lori
