ADOBE READER 8 Runtime error, 'terminate in an unusual way'...
Adobe (formerly Acrobat) Reader 8 (released Nov 2006).
This is the error message:
"Runtime error"
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
"This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please Contact the application's support team for more information".
Adobe Reader 8 closes down when I click update or repair, and is un-usable. I have run the Adobe Reader 8 repair function, through Start, Set Program Access and Defaults, Change program. However, that did not correct it. I have re-installed it also. I have back-dated to Adobe Reader to 7.0 – and I use it with no problems. I have also other Adobe products. I have not had this problem before, either. There is no solution even on the Adobe.com website, that I can see.
I am a student user. Dell GX 260 XP Home SP 2, LAN ADSL2+, IE 7 with Google search default and Kaspersky Internet Security 6. I have done a full computer scan with XP Repair Pro 2007 also.
And, the Solution is - if any?
*THANKS

If you search this file on Google.com, there are also some other slight variations, too.
Although I am using version 7, using Start, Regedit, I found it still is in several places in the registry.
