DO I need to Uninstall Prior Version of Reader to Install Udated Version

Hello, I am running a Dell XPS with Vista Home Premium. The PC came with Adobe Reader 7.0. When I try to run it, message states there is a compatibility issue between Vista and that version of Reader. I want to upgrade to 8.1.2 but would like to know if I need to uninstall the older version first before downloading and installing the newer version?
Also, I noticed a lot of people with problems installing 8.1.2. Is this version safe to install and use on Vista?
Thanks very much.

You don't need to delete the previous Logic Pro version before installing Logic Pro X. Logic Pro X is a new version and won't replace the old Logic Pro version, so if you like Logic Pro X and that's what you need after testing it, remove the old Logic Pro

  • I was unaware that I needed to uninstall the older Acrobat Reader before installing the newwer XI. Am I now able to go back and delete both versions then reinstall the XI?

    I have Windows 7, and an older Abode Reader, I've just installed the newer Adobe Reader XI, but did not uninstall the older Adobe Reader.  Is it too late to uninstall both versions of Adobe Readers, then reinstall the Adobe Reader XI?

    If you upgrade from one Reader version to the next (e.g. Reader X to XI) it is usually not necessary to uninstall the previous version.
    If you skip several versions (e.g. Reader 8 to Reader XI) it is recommended to uninstall the old version first.
    My recommendation for now:
    uninstall both versions using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    reinstall the latest Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

    Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.
    BTW, this is the forum for Adobe Contribute.

  • When I move my mouse Itunes stops playing. This was happening before I installed latest version. I have installed latest version three times. First and install, then as a repair, and third time I unistalled Itunes and reinstalled i.

    when I move my mouse Itunes stops playing music. Sometimes this happens immediatly and sometime it take 10 to 15 sec. I tried playing Itunes and then tabing another program but same result. If I click on play and do not move mouse Itunes works as usual.. This was happening before I installed latest version. I have installed latest version three times.

    At various stages over the years, mouse-related iTunes trouble has been associated with driver conflicts. So it might be worth following up on that possibility.
    Head to the drivers and downloads page for your model of PC, and check to make sure you're not behind on any chipset and input-device-related driver updates. (And while there, just in case, also check to make sure your BIOS, sound-card/integrated audio, and video-card/display-adaptors are up to date.)
    If you're behind on anything, and you update, does that help with the mouse-related iTunes issues?

  • Do I need to uninstall previous version of Firefox before installing new version?

    I am worrried about installing new version (3.6.13 ) since old version (3.0.15) is working o.k. Can you advise?

    When you install a release version of Firefox (current version is 3.6.15), it will by default replace the existing version. There is no need to uninstall the old version first.

  • Do I need to uninstall CS6 perpetual to get Monday's CC versions?

    I have a CS6 suite installed.
    AAM is showing those applications as up to date.
    It does not show and will not install the CC updates to CS6.
    Do I need to uninstall the CS6 suite from Windows7 uninstall and then reinstall from the CC Apps page to see those updates as well as Monday's CC versions?
    If I have trouble reinstalling what is the link to the "cleaner" app?
    Thanks

    OK, thanks.
    AAM knows I belong to CC as I was able to DL and install LR 5 without having to give a serial.
    I was surprised this came up at all. Some documentation on moving from CS6 to CC would have been helpful. Good luck to the folks in support next week. They'll need it.

  • Do I Need to uninstall Elements 10 in order to install Elements 11

    I have Photoshop Elements 10 installed and I purchased and downloaded Elements 11 today. My problem is when installing the software it goes through most of the install untill it comes to "Shared Technologies", then it shows an error that says the "Shared Technologies" didn't install and the install backtracks and uninstalls everything that it had installed. So, does anyone know how I can install the downloaded Photohop Elements 11 without getting the error? I also have Photoshop Premiere Elements 10 and Lightroom 4.

    no, you don't need to uninstall pse 10.

  • HT5639 Do I need to uninstall boot camp 4 before I install and update to boot camp 5. I already have windows 8 pro with boot camp 4 installed. Do I need to unistall boot camp 4 or not necessary?

    I already have windows 8 pro with boot camp 4 installed on my macair book 11". I have searched the entire articles on how to upgrade boot camp 4 to boot camp 5 but have found no answer as to my question: Do you have to uninstall boot camp 4 drivers before you install boot camp 5? I am not sure if it is ok to install boot camp 5 directly without uninstalling boot camp 4 because there might be driver version conflict. So I have not installed boot camp 5. Is it ok to install boot camp 5 withoust uninstalling boot camp 4? Your answers will be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You don't have to uninstall Boot Camp 4 drivers before installing Boot Camp 5 drivers. Boot Camp 5 drivers will simply overwrite Boot Camp 4 drivers, so you don't have to uninstall old drivers before installing new ones and making that process easier

  • Do you need to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 before installing Elements 12?

    Is it best to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 before installing Elements 12 or not?
    If so, how do you save and transfer all Albums, Folders and Tags?
    If not, do they transfer automatically?

  • Do I need to uninstall the Photoshop CS6 trial before installing Design & Web Premium?

    I'm studying game design and my school provides a full license for Photoshop CS6. Before they provide the license they require you to install the software and use the 30 day trial, so that's what I did - I just installed the Photoshop CS6 standalone version (the full thing, not Elements). Now that my trial period has expired I've been given the license, but it seems it's for the whole Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium, not just Photoshop.
    Should I uninstall Photoshop standalone before installing the whole Design & Web Premium suite? Or will it be okay if I go through the installation of the suite and just deselect Photoshop from the installation options? Is there any difference between the version that's installed on its own and the version that comes with the Design Premium suite? Will it affect any functionality in terms of transferring stuff between applications?
    I'm running Windows 7.
    Thanks in advance.

    Only if you want to or need the space... versions are independent... some people have several versions installed for testing different capabilities

  • How to uninstall QT 7.1.5 and install previous version

    Can someone advise how to uninstall new version of QuickTime 7.1.5 and install a previous version (7.1.3). The new version seems to have issues (I have software that no longer plays back video... and was working fine before new version).
    Mac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Problems with QT 7.1.5 are not limited to Turbo Tax or to particular versions of OSX. If you read the website Macfixit, you will find that many people with many different programmes and system versions are having serious problems with this update of QT, including a stall on the update itself. I phoned tech services in Canada under my AppleCare programme and reached them this morning (March 11) and the technician I spoke with had NO KNOWLEDGE of the many many problems with this updater. I told him that APPLE should immediately remove it from circulation until it is fixed. He said he would report it but he was not enthusiastic nor did he sound overly concerned so I don't know that he will. I also asked for advice about uninstalling 7.1.5 and the only sure thing he could recommend was to re-install the entire system. Not a satisfactory option. But if you are interested, go to Macfixit.com and look for their document on uninstalling it. But as for APPLE, I suggest that everyone having problems after installing 7.1.5 OR with the downloading itself phone APPLE and demand that they pull 7.1.5 from circulation AND provide us, on their website, with their instructions about uninstalling it. This kind of negligence has become too typical of APPLE of late - not the old style APPLe that I came to love and depend upon - and only if we demand more responsibility from them do we have any hope of things changing for the better.

  • Had a trial version, now trying to install full version from disk and won't work

    I am now trying to install a full version of Aperture 3.0 from a disk after having a trial version downloaded a few months ago.  Everything goes fine until I click on the icon after installation.  A box comes up asking for serial number to upgrade the trial version, but says that it is invalid after I enter it.  Product was purchased directly from Apple, so it is a valid disk.  I have deleted all the accompanied files that I can find that were on the computer prior to having the full version.  What else should/can I do to get this to work?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    I have deleted all the accompanied files that I can find that were on the computer prior to having the full version.
    Did you deinstall all of the files mentioned here?
    Re: Aperture Removed...still wants to update
    And afterwards open a terminal window (the Terminal is in Applications -> Utilities)
    and type the following command:
           sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Aperture
    You will need to enter your admin password.
    Then try again to install your boxed Aperture 3 version.
    Good Luck
