I have a new computer (HP) with Windows 7 that I installed. it came with
Vista. I cannot open any PDF files. Windows Picture Manager tries to open
PDF attachments and I get a picture of the Adobe Reader logo that I cannot do
anything with. The tools that come up are for managing photographs. I have
reinstalled Adobe and Acrobat.

You need Adobe Reader to open PDF files.

Well, have you checked your file associations to make sure they are correct?

Adobe is a company. It's too big to fit on your computer. ;-)

Acrobat is one of Adobe's products. Do you actually have Acrobat or do you have
the free Reader?

What happens when you start Acrobat on its own (ie rather than by doubleclicking
a PDF icon)? If it starts normally, can you use File, Open from it to open
PDFs?
