Livecycle not opening

The Following Quesetion was asked in March, '07. I have the same problem and the answer below does not solve. I can not open Livecycle unless I start a new form design, then close it, and open my form I am in the process of designing.
 
thanks for the help.
 
Q: I just upgraded to 8.0 and now whenever I try to open LiveCycle Designed it opens Adobe Professional instead. The only work around that I have found is in Profession to click on "Create a new form". Any ideas on how I can get LiveCycle to open without having to go through Professional?
 
A:Hi Amandah17,
 
On a Windows system Adobe Designer can be opened from Start ->All Programs without having Acrobat Pro open.
 
Hope that helps,

From your desktop, Right click, select New, Shortcut, click browse, go to the programs file folder on the C:/ drive, find Adobe and click it, find Adobe 8.0 and click, click Designer 8. find the file titled Form Designer and click.

Now you'll have a direct link to Designer from your desktop.

when I click on the short cut, "FormDesigner"...it still starts to open Livecycle, then automatically closes it and opens Adobe Acrobat Pro instead.

Try running the "Repair Acrobat Installation" option from the Help menu.
