This isn't the tex users group. Find your local TUG and they will help you. There are usenet news groups all about latex.

Could it be that you just upgraded Adobe Reader?
If that's the case, have a look at here: https://www.physicsforums.com/blogs/edgardo-22482/texniccenter-adobe-reader-8-0-bugfix-876/ .
