Problem with Acrobat Reader

Went to use Acrobat and got message of a problem with it. The screen just froze and program would not open. Had to restart to get it gone. Same thing happened again. Does it stop working after a long time or on Windows 7? Never experienced this before. I am afraid to try and open it again. Don't recall updating it lately. Any suggestions? I am unsure what to do.

 

I downloaded the Acrobat Reader. How do I uninstall current reader?
I think I just found it in Control Panel/Programs and Features. Am trying it now.

 

I downloaded as you said. I went to Control Panel Programs and Features, selected and uninstalled Acrobat Reader and it did not show up in the list again. I downoaded the Acrobat Reader and am installing it now. It is about half done. I am waiting for it to finish. It says "FINISHED". Am clicking Finish to exit setup. It has appeared in the programs list now. Have not tried it yet. And a desktop shortcut has appeared which says Acrobat Reader with the symbol. I hope I did it right.

Seemed to succeed. Now I will have to learn howto use it again. Will let you know. Thank you for the help.

 

Originally I was trying to view a charge card statement with Acrobat Reader and it kept freezing on the screen. Then it worked once but not next time. So I posted and tried downloading another, removed the old, and installed the new. It worked. Then I tried and it froze again but it closed and when tried second time it worked fine. Maybe this will be the solution. I hope so.
I wondered why some of these posts offer an Edit choice and others do not?
