    Adobe Acrobat won't associate with .pdf files


    I have the latest Adobe Acrobat reader installed but whenever I double click a .pdf file Windows gives me the "this file does not have a program associated with it" message so I went to control panel>Default Programs and associated pdf files with acrobat , pressed OK then restarted the PC. The problem is still there.

    Use the Browse button if Acrobat isn't suggested. What programs are suggested on the list, if that doesn't work? A Guy

    Thank you, I tried both your suggestions but it still didn't work

    What solved the problem was downloading and installing a new version of Acrobat
