I figured out how to fix the problem in Windows XP of Adobe X trying to open
PDF files with Microsoft Word. Try this:
Try to download any PDF file
Close Microsoft Word, which it will try to use to open the PDF
Left click on "Start" (bottom left of main screen)
Left click "My Documents"
RIGHT click on any PDF file you see stored there
Left click "Properties" (at the bottom of the drop-down screen)
Under the "General" tab, click the "opens with" drop down arrow
I found that my default to open PDF files was Microsoft Word; I changed thje
default to "Adobe Reader", clicked "ok" (save) and voila....my PDF files now
open in Adobe!
Hope this works for you, also.
