Adobe Reader X and Windows 7 - Adobe Reader has stopped working

[mrdavie]

I installed Adobe Reader X yesterday (2/15/2011). Today I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it. My operating system is Windows 7. EVERY TIME I exit Adobe Reader X, this message pops up, which requires me to cancel or wait, Adobe Reader has stopped working. This is really frustrating as I am unable to find a solution to this problem on the internet. Additionally, Adobe Reader X is the ONLY version of Adobe Reader offered on the Adobe website (unless I am not looking in the right place).

Anybody have a suggestion as to the solution?

I am intermittently seeing a similar issue on Vista.  The thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/3443367 describes my problem exactly.  Disabling Protect Mode appears to have stabilised Adobe Reader X.
