There was no icon on the desktop or taskbar but there was one on the Start Menu. I did as you suggested and found that a check mark was placed next to 256 colors. Removed the check mark and applied. Opened Acrobat and resolution was normal. <br />
Thank you for the help.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
When I open Acrobat the resolution changes to the lowest settings. I have checked the resolution settings of the display adapter. The settings have not changed. <br />
The resolution is only changed when Acrobat is running, affects all applications that are running and Windows 7 Pro.<br />
If I close Acrobat it reverts back to normal resolution.<br />
I have tried uninstall and reinstalling the display driver and Adobe Acrobat. I have adjusted the settings in both the display and Acrobat. Nothing has worked.

Why does Adobe Acrobat XI Standard affect display resolution settings?

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

A word processor is an electronic device or computer software application that performs the task of composition, editing, formatting, and sometimes printing of documents. Most modern word processors use a graphical user interface, and most are powerful systems consisting of one or more programs that can produce any arbitrary combination of images, graphics and text, the latter handled with type-setting capability. Typical features of a modern word processor include font application, spell checking, grammar checking, a built-in thesaurus, automatic text correction, Web integration, and HTML exporting, among others.
