Microsoft Closing error message?

gatita

Whenever I try to click on a techical information link, or if I click to open a PDF file I get the message:

Microsoft encountered a problem and has to close, report this to Microsoft etc.

Can anyone help me to get rid of this very annoying problem please.
PS I have Windows XP Pro if this helps.

Have you tried getting the latest version of Adobe Reader from here.

Expresso,
Thank you for the reply, and I apologise for the delay at replying but I have been away. I tried downloading the latest version of Adobe Acrobat but unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Any other ideas please?

When the error box appears next, there should be a 'click here' at the bottom of the box; click it and tell us what it says (it should be specific info on the error).

try disabling ie integration.. launch adobe 7, edit preferences, internet, remove the display in browser tick, ok

I have followed your advice Albatross, but I can't test to see if it works as I can't remember a page where I wanted to download a PDF file!:rotfl:
I know I know I am a mess! WHEN I can find a PDF file to test, I will post back and let you know..................and I will also copy the error message
Zahc. Thank you
