Just a few days ago I began to experience clicking Adobe Reader icon a pop-up showed 'Adobe Reader has stopped working, Windows is checking for a solution to the problem...'. So just like many others, I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader and deleted plugins for serval times until I realized the problem is out of red. I also found out IE has been updated to IE 9 by a rogue software without getting my permission at first. So I guessed this and that, and looked for information from the web. I first uninstall IE9, then the rogue, then reinstall Adobe Reader, finally all the sudden, everything come back to normal. This give me some insight into the same old 'Adobe Reader has stopped working'. It could be caused by various problems, including how an unrelevant updated-IE could also cause burning its neighbour house of Adobe Reader.
I get my insight from the web, so I share mine with you too. Hope those encounter the same issue will find one more way to get out of the red.
This teach me a lesson, if God offered me a free ride to the moon by telling this is a pioneer project and you are the lucky star,I better run as quickly as possible into the long grass for hiding by answering to the Almighty: I take the last seat, never the first
