Windows Vista and Adobe Acrobat 8.1

everytime I get a microsoft update my PDF printer says PDF printer (copy 1) and it doesn't work anymore. Can anybody tell me if this is a Windows problem or an Acrobat problem. I get an error message wanting me to reinstall acrobat pro. When I do that it seems to work pretty good until another Windows update come in. Perplexed to say the least.

It's probably a problem with your PDF printer. I would use Revo Uninstaller to uninstall the printer -- and possibly Acrobat (is this Acrobat Reader, or the full version of Acrobat?). I would then try to reinstall them.

This is Acrobat Pro 8.0. The only way to install the .pdf printer, I know of, is to re-install Acrobat 8.0.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat a couple of times, but everytime an update comes in, I lose the .pdf printer.
