I think you are OK, from all you said. Still...

(a) You did the Adobe Update, & "START, Run, Scanreg"?

If this was on 2/17/05, then you have TWO RB..cab's with that
date, presuming you did a boot on that day. One is created at the
first
successful boot per day. How did you tell these two apart, if you did?
(ONLY the one you did would be good to your purpose.) I'm thinking..
is
there a timestamp I do not quite recall? I'm fairly sure...

1. The RB..cab created at the most recent boot is marked "not started"

by /Restore in DOS.
2. The RB..cab created by "START, Run, Scanreg" is also "not started"

(b) If you shut down before going to bed, then the next day you'd also
have a usable (for your purpose) 2/18/05 registry. Is that the one you
/Restored?

An update. This was interesting. I found I was only able to
remove half of those plugins w/o loading errors,
so I went back to PDF Speedup, which,
somehow, is able to manage Acrobat 6 properly with only two
plugins.
I think PDF Speedup disables the "update" plugin and its
dependencies
(at least that's my guess), and some others, but, whatever, it
appears to be working!

I have no problems, and I only have the 3 that I posted about.

Well, before I did any of this I used the Update option of Acrobat
(while on line) to see if there was anything I could still get for
this somewhat dated version (6.00).

Sounds like your app makes changes OK,
but doesn't reverse those changes properly.

Nope, cause I restored the previous registry, and also checked SFC,
and
kept track of the Program File Acrobat 6.0 subfolder changes. (But
as I
said, I *did* use the Update feature once before doing any of
this).

Did you reboot anywhere in the process at all?

ALWAYS! If anything, I am *overzealous* in that regard. It's
nearly
instinctive with me to reboot ANY time I make ANY changes, and
usually
on a one by one event basis.

The only thing in plug-ins right now is EWH32.api and Search.api.
Acrobat comes up a lot faster, I'll have to say. (All the other
plug-ins were moved by the PDF Speed Up "program" to the Optional
subfolder.

(BTW, I also checked out some reviews of this small program, and
they
were all positive, which was encouraging to hear).

I'll spell it out as I see it, to see if I understand you correctly

1 You booted up today, or yesterday or earlier, at which time
you created the most recent Registry backup file RB???.CAB

2 You ran your new app, which made Registry changes

3 You ran Adobe Update, which updated Adobe Acrobat Reader,
and made Registry changes

4 You ran a Registry restore to this morning's version ?
or to an earlier version ? either of which would lack
the Registry changes made by the Acrobat Reader Update

5 You now get Adobe Acrobat Reader execution errors

NOT "execution errors", per se. I simply got plug-in loading
errors
(or rather, warnings), for the "missing" api plug-ins, unless I left
about half of them or so in there, (because some were obviously being
loaded, that depended on some others being available and loaded too).

Also, the numbered sequence above is incorrect, as written above. I
did
the Adobe Update thing first before I ever installed that PDF Speedup
program. And THEN I backed up the registry, and went to bed.

Then, on the next day, I went ahead and installed PDF Speedup, tried
it
out, then later decided to use its restore button to revert back to
the
original setup, (which it did). And just to be sure, I then
reinstalled
the old registry just predating this.

At this point I tried removing MOST of the plugins, but could only
remove
about half of them or so before i started encountering some of those
missing plugin warnings.

Finally, at that point, later in the afternoon, I just went ahead and
reinstalled PDF Speedup. I say "reinstalled", because actually it
doesn't even have an installer, per se. It's just a tiny registry
modifying program, as far as I can tell. Very lightweight.

Before you review and make any necessary corrections
to the above analysis, I would copy the RBxxx.CAB files
to a safe place, to be sure they are not overlayed.

And I would refrain from any installs, or automatic updates,
until you conduct your own mental walkthrough
of what transpired, to establish if you need to go back
to the Registry that you overwrote.

I think I'm ok - as I said, no hard execution errors resulted, only
those
soft loading api errors (missing api plugin warnings). Of course
NOW I
don't have any of those warning errors (of missing some api plug ins)

Anyway, that's a long winded explanation, which probably wasn't the
clearest, but it's after midnite, and my writing style may be
slippin!
Hopefully it wasn't too confusing the way I explained it.

How come I don't believe that?

As to why Hugh can do with 3 and you need more is perhaps because you
let Adobe act as a sever at least once on your machine? My Zone Alarm
sounds off that Adobe wants to do things on the internet and I've never
let it do that. Without ZA, I suspect Adobe would do what it wants to
which is to be available for further updates to itself for just one
thing it could out on the web unsupervised.

Running one of these api could get dlls registered which then might
force Windows to look for them when Adobe is loaded? PDF speedup
probably knows these relationships and unregisters the appropriate dlls
such that Acroread doesn't force a 'find' for them when loaded?

You can count fairly high, then. Very good. OK, bye.

Yeah, my mistake. Stillwell. Anyway I've just found out it's been
totally revamped, so so much for the seedy historical part being visible
anymore.
