Adobe Reader auto-selecting Fax as printer

For some reason, when I try to select the default printer to print out a PDF in Reader, it just jumps right back to Fax, and it wont stay on the printer I select. Its set as thedefault printer and I can print from other programs

On my system Adobe uses the Windows Default Printer. So then are you say your Adobe does not use the Windows Default properly?

The proper printer is selected as Default in 'Devices and Printers' and it prints docs from other applications just fine.

When I try to print a PDF, it shows "Fax" as the printer it wants to print to. When I hit the drop-down and select the HP printer I want, it automatically goes back to "Fax." Every time.

Well the user was on Adobe Reader 9, upgraded to X and problem solved.
I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:

Wasn't that complicated, just a simple reinstall. Still a weird issue though.
>>> Wasn't that complicated, just a simple reinstall  

So I did ask you to uninstall, reinstall, so that should be accepted as an answer, should it not?
