How Do I Uninstall Adobe Reader X Standard From Your Computer In 5 Minutes?

Can you uninstall Adobe Acrobat X in Safe Mode? In my office I have a laptop machine that is pretty screwed up, and will only boot up using Safe Mode. I needed to uninstall several programs from the machine due to having limited seats for the software. I have uninstalled everything except Adobe Acrobat X Standard. When I try to uninstall it, it cannot complete the process because the Print Spooler service isn’t running. When I go to Services and try to start it, I get an Error 1084: This service cannot be started in Safe Mode. I have searched the net for hours and tried several registry edits related to printing and print spoolers, but to no avail. There are currently no printers installed on the machine, not even the Adobe PDF printer. So what the heck am I supposed to do to uninstall this thing, so that Adobe will know that license is free to install on the other machine? I am probably going to junk this thing or maybe reformat after this, but I just need to get this blasted Adobe software off of there first.

Remove Adobe Acrobat X Standard on Windows with default uninstaller
Configure Windows as directed by Microsoft.com to show hidden files and folders. Open the Start menu and “Control Panel.” Click “Appearance and personalization” and select “Folder Options.” Click the tab labeled “View” and click “Show hidden files and folders” under “Advanced Settings.” Click “OK.” In Microsoft XP, you can find the “Folder Options” in the Tools menu in Windows Explorer.

Run the Adobe Acrobat uninstaller from the “Add/Remove programs” option found in the Windows Control Panel. The uninstaller will remove most settings automatically, but may leave a number of folders and files behind.

Remove the “Acrobat,” “Adobe PDF” and “Designer” folders from inside. Remove the same files from the “All users” folder inside the “Documents and Settings” folder.
  4. Open the “Start Menu” folder and select “Programs.” Delete the Adobe Acrobat file if it exists. Navigate back to the “All Users” folder and select “Desktop.” Delete the Adobe Acrobat file from the folder if it exists.
  5. Open the “Windows” folder inside the Windows Explorer and open the “System32″ folder. Find the adobePDF.dll file and delete it.
