I figured out the solution.
1. I removed Acrobat Pro 11 using the Adobe Acrobat Cleaning Tool.
2. Restarted my computer
3. I took my old copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 and loaded it and it runs perfectly. All my PDFs load quickly. I am now a happy camper.
Adobe: No way should a software program like Reader 11 or Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 take the huge numbers of hours to solve the problems I had.
