hi. i run my laptop on winXP SP3 & everything related to Adobe Reader was fine until i have some problems with its macro settings. So i decided to uninstall Reader 7.0 and upgrade it to 9.0. Unfortunately, now i cannot reinstall any version of Adobe Rdr. Every time i try, i get this below error.

Insufficient access/permission to following key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\{CA8A9783-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}

also tried to change the keys permission settings from Regedit but failed again, "Unable to save changes to key. Access is denied."
