Finding the old A*.TMP files and deleting them. After about 64,000 temp files, Acrobat (and Reader) fail.

I have a Dell Dimension 4550, 512MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive, 17 GB free, XP home and run Adobe Reader 5.1. Unfortunately some of the sites that require .pdf file downloads require a newwer version than Adobe Reader 5.1.
I have downloaded and installed Adobe Reader 7.0. The installation completed successfully, I have done this several times. When I attempt to launch the Adobe Reader 7.0 it does not open, doulble click the icon the mouse blinks to an hour glass then returns back to the arrow. I have also attempted this going to the Adobe 7.0 folder and opening the application file with the same result.
Abobe's forums offered essentially no help. The solution they offered was a radically reconfiguration that disable almost every program on the computer from running. And still did not launch the 7.0 reader
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
