I have tried the usual method through Control Panel previously but it won't uninstall Adobe Reader. An error message shows that the path is incorrect.
There are many versions of Adobe Reader in the Adobe file in Programs. As a last resort I will manually delete all Reader version files in Programs, bur I am not sure what effect this will have on my system.

Using START menu, go to CONTROL Panel, Choose, How do I Unistall,
find Adobe reader 9 and uninstall. This should work
I had a similar problem. Adobe reader 9 would not work and I tried without success to uninstall with the intention of reinstalling it. I tried the usual methods without success.
I then tried to find the original installation file using the Start, Search and "File or part of a File" and entered Adobe Reader. My Os is XP Pro.
I let the search run until it finished. It showed about 100 results, mostly small files, but included was a 42MB file named C;\System Volume\_restore........
I dobled clicked on this file and the Adobe Installer box appeared and Reader was reinstalled successfully.It tried to stop halfway through by showing the usual message about incorrect path but I kept clicking "next".
To un install the Adobe reader 9 or evey any software from your computer, there are two ways to do.
1. You can click on Start then Settings Then Control Panel Then Ad Remove Programs, there you will see Adobe Reader 9 simply click it and an option of remove will apear. So click it and then click uninstall. It will automatically un install adobe reader 9 from your computer. You can remove or uninstall any software safely from your computer with this method.
2. Click on start then programs and there you will see an un install option on the specific software which you wants to un install. By the way this 2nd way maybe not used for Adobe reader, cause there is no uninstall option for this in the progrms meneu while installing. But you can uninstall it with the 1st method.

The Windows Installer Cleanup Utility is good but does not work in all circumstances. Try this: (Caution, this is not for the faint-hearted.)
Try Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove all traces of reader from your machine.
