This is a problem from Adobe's PDF Reader. I've seen suggestions of uninstalling it and getting Foxit PDF Reader instead, but I prefer the Adobe reader - it's much more slimlined and the new version is so fast to load (with Foxit, they seem to every button you could possibly put in the program on one toolbar: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rea...eader23scr.jpg).

I don't think it's a problem w/ Outlook since I don't have Outlook installed. I have a suspicion that it has to do with updating existing installations of Adobe Reader vs. Standalone installations.

Anyone know right off hand what the first version of Adobe Reader that was compatible with Vista?
