Acrobat v8 will not run after javascript error

I used a javascript batch to create source links with addLink and setAction openDoc to a destination PDF. (Both docs were disclosed) When I opened the destination PDF with Acrobat v8 Pro, the links were fine. They should have ran the openDoc. Instead, the application locked up so I closed it. Now Acrobat Pro will not run. It starts the acrobat.exe process but does not show on screen. My Acrobat v8 reader still runs. It will use the links to open the destination doc. Interesting is that Acrobat V8 Pro will run using a different user account, but no longer with my original account. Could the debugger still be locked up? How can I get Acrobat pro to run again?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.1, Windows

I got Acrobat Pro v8 going again by holding shift key during launch. My batch sequences are gone, but who cares? :)=)

This disabled a lot of functionality but all I need to do now is find out which plug-ins caused the problem
