Uninstall Elements before a Windows reinstall?

After one week of a new computer, hackers got into it. Long story short, in order to totally wipe clean and secure it, I have to go back to factory specs and reinstall windows. During that first week, I had installed a brand new copy of PS Elements 10 (never opened it-it had sat on the shelf!).
1) Is there a limit to how many times I can install the program on the same computer? If I have a problem in the future, will I have used up my installations?
2) Should I uninstall it first, before doing the windows reinstall or just let it get erased during the Windows 8.1 reinstall process??
Thank you for any words of wisdom!

Nope, there is no limit on number of installations and uninstallations but make sure that before uninstalling you deactivate your application. There is a limit on number of activations for a serial number which is two. Hence you can use serialized PSE on two different machines.
Please let me know if ti doesn't answer your question.

If this is an update from Windows 8 then you should be OK although you should backup your library regularly regardless.

I don't know what instructions you may have followed, but as long as you "signed out" , then you will be fine.

Installed Elements 12 and need to uninstall Elements 5. Do not have Elements 5 disk. Windows XP SP3

I recently installed Photoshop Elements 12 and need to uninstall Elements 5. I am using Windows XP SP3 and when I go to "add or remove programs" and select remove, it asks me to use the original disk which I am unable to find. I would like to do a clean uninstall. Is there some type of tool or program? Please be explicit.

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

If that does not work, then I would see this FAQ Entry: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0
It starts with a general checklist for getting PrE set up properly, then goes into some links on tuning up one's system and OS, and finally has links to many troubleshooting articles, plus tools to help one troubleshoot issues.
Good luck,

Take a look at iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes. Perhaps your .NET Framework needs a repair.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Experiencing trouble syncing with the 10.3 version of iTunes on my Windows Vista machine. Have uninstalled all Apple software twice, reinstalled and continue to get an error 7 message in connection with the Photo Processor. Any other ideas to try?

Hi,
got it fixed! My Son had both files on his Win7 iTunes installation. Never mind he had no issues whith ths iTunes and iPhone Sync. So I checked my other Win XP PC, where I don't have this problem syncing my ipad, and surprise. Both files do NOT show up on this PC. So I renamed the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe I found under c:\program file\iTunes and synced again my iPhone and it went through without any error. So the problem might be and unremoved iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe or the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll under the iTunes install root folder and this even if I had checked that the folder was completely removed during iTunes unistall.
Please try yourselve and just rename the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe to iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe_ under c:\program file\iTunes or get a copy of the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll and cp to c:\program file\iTunes.

I currently have Photoshop elements 10 on my computer. I recently purchased PS elements/premiere 12. Can I load 12 over 10 or do I have to uninstall 10 before loading 12?

Both are separate programs. You can have both 10 and 12 installed at the same time.

No, I have PSE 6, 11 & 12 installed on my computer.
PSE 6 is a full copy, 11 is an upgrade and 12 is a full copy.

Update 12.1 installed with Error 7 (Windows error 126). Reinstalled. Same error. Uninstalled all Apple products. Reinstalled iTunes. Same error. Updated to 12.1.1. Same error message. Uninstalled everything. Reinstalled 12.1.1. Same error.

Update 12.1 installed with Error 7 (Windows error 126). Reinstalled. Same error message. Uninstalled all Apple products. Reinstalled iTunes 12.1. Same error message. Updated to 12.1.1. Same error message. Uninstalled everything. Reinstalled 12.1.1. Same error message. iTunes runs and plays my music, but the error message remains. It doesn't hinder my music playing, but it is annoying. And, this is all done on my work computer. I have not unpdated iTunes on my home laptop, cause I don't want to have to deal with this error message.
