ContextMenu.dll - Explorer crash when right-click on anything, Microsoft MS Word crash

Installed Adobe Acrobat X v10.1.2 on Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP 3. MS Word 2000 started hanging right after this install, had to start it with /a to skip word addins and startup template and reg options. Gradually other problems started, including explorer hang on right click, and eventually hang on ^C for copy and more. Disabling this extension removed 'Combine these files in Acrobat' from context menus, but that wasn't working anyway by the end, and disabling it fixed all these problems.
