[QUOTE="Myriad, post: 538525, member: 52792"] @[B]Huracan , [/B]thanks for posting , this is a confusing issue for many users , especially those that like to actively manage their installed programs , to weed out old stuff and junk . I just took this screenie of a client's machine ( with permission ) and it highlights the issue ( Hmmm , I've never posted an image here before , hope I get it right ) This is from a Toshiba 64-bit W7. It is a similar list to the one you posted , and I'm often asked [I]" can I safely uninstall the older versions here "[/I] , and I really do not know the answer , and re-installing them again later may not give the desired result ! Critical dependencies may not get re-established , so my answer has to be " No" and after all ,there's only around 50 MB being used for all of them . [/QUOTE]
