SideBySide error: Event ID 80 in Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

Question

Hi All --
For a long time now, I've been getting the following SideBySide error associated with Acrobat Pro (ver. 9.5.5):
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Designer 8.2\FormDesigner.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "" on line . A component version required by the application conflicts with another component version already active. Conflicting components are:. Component 1: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0. 7601.17514_none_fa396087175ac9ac.manifest. Component 2: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.76 01.17514_none_41e6975e2bd6f2b2.manifest.

I know others have had same/similar experiences with somewhat earlier versions of Acrobat Pro, for example:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5164184#5164184
I've reinstalled Acrobat Pro, and also did a Repair Installation from the Help menu, but nothing seems to fix it.
I also have Adobe CS5 installed (not all components).  All software is fully updated -- both Adobe products and Windows 7.
I occasionally use the form functions of Acrobat Pro and would like to be able to edit forms... so I much rather not disable the entire function.
Any suggestions on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
JF

This has bothered me for a while, never was able to find a solution, so today it began to bother me and I thought I would bump up this thread.
Is there a solution? Or has Adobe decided not to address it for their customers that get the error? For me, my event log shows this error at least once for every day.
