When I try to open a PDF file in my browser, I get the error message "Could not Find Adobe Acrobat". What do I need to do to correct the problem. I have both Adobe Acrobat V5 and Adobe Acrobat Reader V6.0.1 installed on my computer (PC w/ Windows XP)

Thanks

Uninstall both versions from Add/Remove Programs and then re-install from
the Adobe Web site.
