Adobe Reader works inside of Browsers but will not open a PDF file, it 'Stops Responding'.
After uninstalling, cleaning up adobes crap with a tool they provide then installing Adobe Reader again it worked for three days then stopped responding again.
There are several posts about changing the Protected mode but that can only be done if the Reader is working, its not responding so you can't access the setting.
Edit the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Adobe/Acrobat Reader/11.0/Privileged/bProtectedMode and set the Data to 0
Adobe had me re-install twice then clean by install with a tool they gave me then install again but they never fixed the issue!
