Nice job, but you did not completely remove ALL of the Reader components. You need to take out all files and folders related to Reader. Then, if needed you can either run Windows Cleanup utility and or do a manual Regedit. Editing the Registry can be DANGEROUS-do it at your own risk! There are several commercial and free applications out there that will also help you remove anything that is "orphaned." I use Crap Cleaner (Free) and WinOptimizer (Ashampoo-Free trialand better than Norton IMO). This approach should get you ready for a truly "clean" install of Reader 8.
