Update to v9 asks me to run it from Control Panel, but no option for
running from the file on my desktop. Suspect same problem as for v7
reinstall below.

v7 install fails as it tried to find C:windows/install/ acrobat reader
v6.3 update.msi or something like that.

V6.3 Update features in Control Panel Uninstall programmes, but with
no option to uninstall it.

Google "remove adobe reader 6" and "remove adobe reader 7".  This seems 
to be a common problem.

If you don't need all the high-end features of V9, try Foxit Reader. 
Faster, more stable, and free. foxitsoftware.com

Thanks, Bob,

I'd managed to install v7 by reinstalling v6.3 or whatever update,
removing it and running an old v7 install v9 was still screwed up, but
don't know if I want to risk installing it again.
Might give the Foxit one a try
