Acrobat X Pro failed to connect to a dde server

I've been running Win 7 64 bit with near flawless results for some time now. This morning I made a pdf via ID but couldn't get Acrobat to open it up. I tried other, older pdfs with no luck. Double clicking on Acrobat X Pro gets me no where except the message that you see in my subject line.

 

I'll mention too that my Adobe updater updated an obscure Adobe program this morning and I'm wondering if that had something to do with it? Is there a way to find and roll back that update?

 

I've got work to do! Any suggestions?

    Sounds like the update is your problem. Try going to the control panel -- programs and features -- and do a repair to Acrobat.

    Good suggestion. In fact, I'm surprised that I didn't think of that. Unfortunately it didn't make any difference.
