Acrobat 7 is not saving digital ID files

Question

Hello,
I've searched ALL over and can't find anything relevant.  I am using Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro for digital signatures.  Recently it started to prompt me for a digital ID whenevr trying to sign a document.  I go into the security settings, select a digital ID and set it as default for signing.  Works great until you close Acrobat and re-open it... then the digital ID file and security settings completely disappear.  I've tried everything from creating a new digital ID file, to reinstalling Acrobat entireley.  Also deleted the Crypto folder hoping that wold help.  No luck.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Hi paintb4707,
This is something I've never seen before, so I'll take a stab in the dark.
Make sure Acrobat is closed
Run regedit
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\7.0
Delete the Security key
Close the Registry Editor
Launch Acrobat
Select the Advanced > Security Settings menu item
Click the Add ID toolbar button
Select the Find and existing Digital ID radio button. and then click Next
Click the Browse button
Navigate to the location an existing digital ID, select it, and then click the Open button
Enter the password and then click the Next button
Click the Finish button
Close and relaunch Acrobat and see if the digital ID persists.
