Unwanted conversion of PDF email attachments to Microsoft Media Center icon

Apr 27, 2012 8:22 AM

Hello,

 

I assume this began after an Adobe Reader update, since I took no action that would have caused the problem.  Every time I receive an email with a PDF attachment, when I attempt to open it, it triggers Microsoft Media Center, which onlybegan happening in the last few weeks.  I've never used MMC, and I disabled all four files as directed.  Every PDF email attachment, however, converts the PDF icon to the MMC icon and triggers the now disabled software.  I have to copy each attachment, paste to my desktop and open with the "Open with..." command, selecting Adobe.  This is incredibly wasteful and irritating.  MMC is entirely worthless, far as I can see.

 

Has anyone had a similar problem?  If so, do you know how to resolve it and ensure all PDF attachments in email arrive as PDFs? 

 

Thanks!

    Please repair your Reader installation from within the Control Panel and see if it solves the issue.
