adobe acrobat reader 7.0.2 and reader 7.0.2 update

adobe acrobat 7.0.3 and reader 7.0.3 update

adobe atmosphear player for acrobat and adobe reader

adobe photoshop album 2.0 starter edition

i already had adobe acrobat reader on my computer when i bought it

when i updated adobe reader by the way i didnt do it myself i clicked on a link and it needded adobe acrobat so i could read what was there and it came up and updated itself

but if i remember correctly i had to approve it and i did but i only did that cause i thought i needed this program

so i wanna know if i really need these programs and if i dont need them can i delete them with out messing up my laptop

 

oops sorry chaslang i didnt know this was the wrong forum ill try to put my topics in the right forum in the future

 

ok ill do that thanks halo

 

um halo i downloaded adobe reader 7 and it came with adobe download manager 2.0 and i was wondering if i can remove it or do i need it for future updates

oh and i ran a search for adobe on my computer after i downloaded 7 and i found out i have adobe reader 6 on my computer too and i thought i got rid of it after i removed the adobe folders for adobe and for adobe photoshop how did i miss this

and how do i get rid of it

i thought id use my original adobe post instead of making a new one is that ok

 

i removed everything that said adobe on my add remove programs and reader 6 wasnt on there

then i went into my pictures and removed adobe photoshops folder then i went into programs folder and removed the adobe folder

so im not sure why i still have adobe reader 6

oh and i think reader 6 is in a folder called cache

 

i used search again for adobe i looked at properties for adobe reader 6 folder and it says c:\windows\cache

but whats cache

i tried to uninstall 6 but it said this action is only valid for products that are currently installed

 

no no its not in add/remove programs and i dont remember it being in there when i removed everything that said adobe either

i tried uninstalling 6 and the adobe photoshop but they both said they were already uninstalled

and whats a os

im not sure which cache it just says c:\windows\cache

 

i have windows xp

well the adobe photoshop says its in c\windows/downloaded installations

and adobe 6 says c\windows/cache/adobe reader 6

both have little computers and a cd icon next to them

and the 6 has a folder also its in the cache folder too

and thier not in the start toolbar thing im looking at the list of all the things that say adobe on my search

 

ok i removed 6 and everything that said adobe including adobe 7 so i could removed 6 without messing up 7 then i reinstalled 7

thanks again halo but if anything messes up im blaming you lol just kidding
