pdf toolbar not working IE 7 Vista 64

Hi Have installed Adobe acrobat (with latest update V 8.13) on a Vista 64-bit PC with the most current update. Using Internet Explorer 7 (both 32 and 64-bit versions), I can see the pdf icon on the top, I can see all the submenus (i.e. Create a pdf etc) however, when I click on any of the submenus- nothing happens. Have uninstalled and reinstalled - no effect. The pdf creation wroks fine if I open the acrobat application directly and use the print command. All the settings look ok on acrobat and IE 7. I really like the convenience of using this toolbar out of the browser and would appreciate any help.

As you know Acrobat 8.13 isn't compatible with 64 bit IE. I expect when you have both versions of IE installed, Acrobat is getting confused even if you think you are using the 32 bit version of IE. I gave up on this issue and installed FoxIT - version 2.3 is Vista 64 compatible; more convenient than a toolbar that doesn't work :-) FoxIT is far less "embedded" than Acrobat and consistently suffers from fewer glitches of which yours is just one. A case of simpler is better, I think
