Suddenly can't open Jpeg's or PDF's
I have a Lenovo desktop with lots of memory running a 6.0 connection speed at 3.2 Mhtz with Vista home professional at 32 bits. About a week ago I suddenly couldn't open Jpegs,'Pdf's or Mht. On my bottom bar , my leftside Javascript quickly flashes connecting to and my green bar quickly flashes full and off and the left Java script says done and then nothing happens, all in the space of a couple of seconds. Before my green bar would load progressively. As far as I know I have not changed any of my settings, the only thing I remember doing differently is updating Adobe to 9.2.
Any help on what I could check would be greatly appreciated...
