The answer may well be in the Registry. Seems there are numerous visible references to Adobe. If you only have Acrobat Reader installed on your machine then this is easy-BUT DANGEROUS regardless. First you should use Add/Remove Programs to take ALL versions of Reader out. Then, remove ALL of the folders associated with Reader that you can find. Finally, you can manually edit the Registry or use a program to edit all of the entries that you can easily find for Adobe. Then and only then would you proceed to do a "clean" install of Reader 8.
I will repeat-Editing the Registry is Dangerous and not for the timid!!!
If in doubt find a program that will remove the orphaned entries for you. Also, if in doubt-make a backup of the Registry as it is now along with setting a Restore Point. I will not be responsible for your attempt in any way. Good luck
