AcroRd32.exe runtime error

I installed 8.0 on a new notebook running Vista and I get this error.

Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I've uninstalled and downloaded a couple times to no avail.

any thoughts?

Uninstall all versions of Adobe (Acrobat) Reader and then either install the
newest version from Adobe or install Foxit:

I thought I'd give the heads up, in case anyone still needed it. The Adobe
Acrobat 8.1 (Standard & Professional) Program Update was just released; this
now makes it fully Vista compatible.

It's been kind of a long wait, but it's finally done.

Thanks, Frank B.
