Hi, Sorry to get in the middle of this thread but I thought it may be constructive in discussion.

Do you require the "uninstall adobe tool" in vista to uninstall adobe.

I was able to uninstall without the adobe's following link in my VISTA Homepremium.

"http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400769&sliceId=1"

And then installed the latest Adobe flash. I did not encounter any problem though.

Any expert answer will be helpful for my future running of my computer.

I uninstalled Adobe from my computer and uninstalled fine. Then I restarted my machine and reinstalled Adobe Reader 8. Now since I installed Adobe Reader 8 it starts fine with no error and my machine does no block it the minute I turn on my machine. I think my problem is solved. Thanks for all of the help

If you had a problem uninstalling Adobe through normal means, Then 

you would need the Adobe uninstaller.

Just an after thought. You really don't need Adobe running at startup.

That's up to you.
