Something is wrong, but it's quite unclear what.
So the obvious work-around is to use another reader and hope that the problem doesn't extend to other programs.
Try the one from http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/

I have problem in running the Adobe Reader XI even though I have re-installed the software a few times.
When I run the Adobe Reader XI, a dialog box appears and read as follows:
Adobe Reader: AcroRd32.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x8c87be44" referenced memory at "0x8c87be44". The memory could not be "written".
Click OK to terminate the program
Click CANCEL to debug the program
OK Cancel
Can someone tell me what happened to this computer and how to resolve the problem so that I can use Adobe Reader to read PDF files?
