Error messages on starting Reader 6

I've been trying to upgrade from Reader 4 to the latest 6 for my W98SE
machine for some time now and always have problems.
I tried again today, rebooted afterward and yet each time I start
READER 6 I get the following messages:

There was an error in loading the plug-in 'Accessibility.api'. Two
plug-ins are
attempting to register with the same name.

same error for: 'ImageViewer.API'
same error for: 'MakeAccessible.api'
same error for: 'PictureTasks.api'

Before starting the new installation I had deleted Reader 4 using the
Uninstall reader4 option in it's program group.

I've since done a 'search for files or folders' on my entire machine
and for each file listed above, I only find one entry in each case.
I downloaded and ran the latest version of RegVac and while that did a
lot of cleanup, it still didn't solve the probem.

I can <enter> through the error messages and use Reader 6 but when I
close it down I get another two Acrord32 error messages saying the
program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

Very frustrating

Any advice would be appreciated. Note, I'd replace the old desktop with
a new XP machine but can't, due to having some periphals (HP 1000C,
Logitec PageScan, etc. which I cannot get fully functional XP drivers
for. XP has a driver for the 1000c but it doesn't support all that
printer's features, like printing on 11x17 paper and having it produce
a 5.5x8 page size booklet, printed both sides, etc. There's nothing
available for the little scanner and it is about 10 times as quick to
scan as my HP2410 all in one, and it has a document feeder built in. I
have an XP laptop so can use latest stuff on that ....but I'd sure like
to move up to Reader 6 on the old desktop.

I'd be much obliged for any advice on this.

Thanks,
