This is a parenthetical comment to the backup advice:
- Make sure you make backups on a consistent basis — the whole banana including system images.
- Make sure you have a rescue disk — that is, a separate disk that will boot your computer if your computer hurls.
- Keep your rescue disk and backups accessible. Know where they are.
- Make sure you know how to use your backups. Someday you will have a computer emergency: your computer will hurl. Really. Guaranteed. Your backups will do you no good at all if you can’t find them and don’t know how to use them.
With the current software updates, it’s much more likely that you will need backups. Act now and avoid panic.

To set your mind at ease, I don’t run under built-in administrator. When I wish to “Run as administrator”, I right-click a program and select “run as administrator.”
To reiterate, I am sole user and owner, and am shown as administrator.
Revo Uninstaller was used; it is one of the tools in my toolkit.
The problem is Adobe’s.

The link you supplied just now is where I started yesterday. Both computer systems are:
- Windows 7
- 64-bit
I think the uninstaller has failed to clear registry entries.

I’m staying with Windows 7 and Microsoft seems to leave it alone. More or less. Except for inexplicable and unintelligible updates.
