Find out if it's giving an error:
Open a terminal and type 'evince' and hit enter.
See if it gives an error and post it here if you can't figure the solution out.

I read the link you included but I couldn't follow a solution...

Sorry

Sometimes if you (usually accidentally) run a program as root, it will mangle your permissions:
chown -R user.users /home/user/.config/
(I *think* that's the right command, it may be a lowercase -r).
Sorry, it's Greek to me...
Do I need to uninstall to reinstall but pick a different folder to install to?
If so, where would I direct it?
thanks

That post is saying that something you installed may have screwed up the permissions on a folder called /home/user/.config/. To see if that's the case, start the terminal, type:
and copy and paste the response into this thread.
Code:
ls -al .config
