Adobe Error 1402

[john god]

Hello,

I'm having trouble trying to update my adobe reader.
Every time I try, I get this:

Update Failed
ERROR 1402
Could not open key
Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponent\Mail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running Windows XP Professional.
Firefox

Thank-You,
John

I tried that, but it still won't update.
I also get,when in safe mode:
This screen saver requires Adobe Flash Player for internet explorer.
In my control panel its there, I thought I had it already.

Try using revo uninstaller (http://www.revouninstaller.com/)

I installed revo uninstaller, still would not uninstall.
