Vista /Adobe 9.0 issue

[BaseBall2000]

Hi. I am using Windows Vista and I recently downloaded Adobe Reader 9.x (I only needed it for one document) however for some reason Adobe has taken it upon itself to OPEN everything. I can’t open things like my antivirus, yahoo messenger, msn messenger, yahoo, yahoo music, etc etc . Even right clicking on a program icon and clicking ‘open’ ‘run as’ nothing opens them, or adobe again pops up! Here is what I don’t understand why is Adobe trying to open files (every thing it seems) that obviously are not PDF files? Not sure what to do...Help please!!!Thanks so much in advance

Have you tried Foxit Reader as an alternative? Very fast and small footprint.

Adobe Download Manager was installed also? If so, remove it.
