263049 2004-08-18 21:17:00 When I click a highlight on a web page that requires my Acrobat Reader to open, I get varied results.
Commonly nothing happens.
Sometimes the Acrobat logo screen appears briefly and then switches off.
Sometimes Acrobat Reader will start and work as expected.
Once Acrobat Reader has started I can go back to a previously failed click and it will work fine.
Is there a setting I can change?
I am using IE6.0, Adobe Acrobat 5.1 and Windows XP.

Try updating/reinstalling the latest Acrobat Reader:
