You don't need to reinstall Acrobat. Instead, 
just launch Acrobat. Go to the Help menue and you 
will find a "Detect and Repair" option. That 
feature will examine all of your browsers and fix 
the wrongs you inflicted ;-)

I think this works with Reader as well, but I can't swear to it.

Let us know if that works.
