Acrobat 5.0 – Free Text Tool Transparent

Please help!
I am brand new, but did not see this subject and any help wouold be greatly appreciated.
The free taxt tool in Acrobat 5.0 has decided to print transparent text – I can make it visible by changing the border color of the text box but just barely.
I thought I saw someone mention that there might be a registry fix, but now I can’t find it again.

I have looked everywhere and now throw my self at the mercy of any Techrepublic GURU who can offer help.

Thank you.
