If you are using Windows try this. Go to c:/program files/america online/backup and the copy the Main.idx file and paste it in c:/program files/america online/idb folder to overwrite the previous one.

If you just want to be able to view PDF files again I recommed installing Foxit: Foxit Reader - Reviews and free Foxit Reader downloads at Download.com (http://download.cnet.com/Foxit-Reader/3000-10743_4-10313206.html?part=dl-116442&subj=dl&tag=button/)

The installation should take control of the PDF file association.
