I'm having trouble with MS Word and Acrobat CS3 after installing 10.6.8 from 10.5.8.

Acrobat closes right away when I try to use it and in MS Word 2008 for Mac my curser moves all over the place when I try to type.

I installed Snow Leopard from a 10.6.3 CD-ROM and went one upgrade at a time from Apple's website up to 10.6.8.
