Uninstalling old version of elements

I just bought elements 10 yesterday when it was on sale.  I was under the impression that it would update my version 8 of elements, not leave it on.  So I now have two versions of elements on my computer.  Much as I like elements, it is a big space hog.  Is there a way I can remove version 8 without messing up my new version 10?
thanks

Yes, they're separate installations.  Use Start...Control Panel...Programs and Features to uninstall PSE8.

  • I need to uninstall downloaded version of Elements 12 on a computer, then install Elements 12 on the same computer directly from a disk. Elements 11 was previously used on same computer, and the albums and library had been moved to the first installation

    I need to uninstall downloaded version of Elements 12 on a computer, then install Elements 12 on the same computer directly from a disk. Elements 11 was previously used on same computer, and the albums and library had been moved to the first installation of 12, which I am removing. How do I correctly unstall the old Elements 12, and install the new elements 12 from disk, and retain all albums and libraries from the old Elements 12?

    You're welcome.  It was not an answer, it was a question, and it could lead to being helpful if you explain why you think you need to uninstall.
    As far as uninstalling goes, you will uninstall it like you do for any program, which depends on what kind of operating system you have.  If you wish to retain albums and whatnot, maybe the following link can provide some guidance.

  • How can I uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

    How can I uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

    This is for uninstalling CS2, but you might find it helpful. EDITED: but watch out, since I don't know if trashing any of these will remove currently needed Illustrator files, if you have a later version.
    To uninstall Adobe Creative Suite in Mac OS 1 -- Double-click Activity Monitor.app in Applications/Utilities, select AHCRemind, and click Quit Process.
    2 -- If you intend to install the product on a different computer, transfer the activation. (See “To transfer the product activation” on page 1.)
    3 -- If you want to uninstall Adobe Acrobat, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    4 -- If you want to uninstall Version Cue 2, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe VersionCue CS2, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Note: If the Version Cue uninstaller fails, see the alternative procecure, “To remove Version Cue manually” on page 4.
    5 -- From the Applications folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: Note: After you drag the items to the trash in steps 5-8, you must empty the trash before you can reinstall

  • HT1926 When Installing new version error is quicktime cannot uninstall old version

    When trying to install new version of Quicktime, I get a error message that quicktime cannot uninstall old version. This also affects Itunes to work. Get Message Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. I think not having quicktime working affects my Itunes from launching.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
    In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Hi Ian, thanks for the suggestion.  That means I will have to write a vi that executes after the application loads and it has a list of all the vi's with front panels that I want to minimise.  Seems do-able as long as I can be sure the vi does its work after all the vi front panels have loaded.  Maybe a time delay before getting into the nitty gritty work of shutting front panels, will do that.  Cheers.
    Hi Herbert,
    Assuming that you already know which are the VIs that will be loaded with FP, by placing and setting that Front Panel Windowtate property in each of those VIs (as first portion of code to be executed; could be made into an sub-vi), those VIs shall minimize themselves at when loaded (and run).
    Hope I am correct up to this point of time as for my existing projects, only one FP has to be minimized
    Cheers!

  • '07 macbook pro with Lion.  I cannot install Adobe Flash Player.  Tried uninstalling old version - didn't help.  I'm a novice and stuck.  Help.

    Cannot figure out why I can't install Flash Player update.  Even tried uninstalling old version - as Adobe site seemed to suggest, but now have no Flash Player.
    I'm not really computer savy but am frustrated since everywhere I go on web uses Flash Player.  Any ideas, suggestion?  Please help.

    Feel sooo dumb.  Found my error with confidence of your instruction and link.  At 'quit' or 'install' box didn't realize need to check box so obviously didn't install.  This time accidentally hovered over darkened 'install' button so instructions lit up - voila!  Thanks for your help.  I'm back in business.

  • Troubles with the installation of an old version of Elements

    I have a quite old version of Elements, regularly purchased. I have just changed my system and I would like to install my Elements Package on my new PC. But it seems to be impossible as an error message appears, saying : "before the installation it is necessary to get Explorer 4.0 (or a more recent version). In fact, MS Explorer is already installed on my machine (the most recent version). My operative system is MS Windows 7 Professional. How can I solve my problem? Many thanks in advance.

    There is apparently a problem with IE10+ in that it is mistakenly seen as being IE1.  To get around this either use a different browser or use compatibility view (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility -view#ie=ie-10)
    It might not be possible to install your older version on a new machine but it depends on just how old it is.

  • In setup wizard it says "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous uninstall. Do you want to reboot now?" after uninstalling old version and trying to install new. I CAN NOT run ANY version now......HELP

    I had an old version of Firefox and uninstalled it. Then I installed the 5.0 version. BUT, in the setup wizard it says "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous uninstall of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" I choose "YES" and the computer reboots, but when I run the setup wizard again, it says the same thing. I have reinstalled it 8 times, and it says the same thing......I have searched my computer for it, and can't find what it's talking about!! HELP!!!!!!

    Thanks so much for your help, it is very much appreciated.

  • Deploy javafx applications on window. + uninstall old version

    I have a problem on windows xp when I deploy a new version of my javafx 2.2 application.
    The new version is replacing the previous version of my software, but when I look in my 'installed software'. My old version still appears.
    (I think this is something to do with registry..)
    I'm using wix to have a .msi file for the installer.
    Wix is using the build.xml file used by Netbeans.
    In my build.xml I specify next values for versioning:
         <target name="-post-jfx-deploy">
              <fx:deploy width="${javafx.run.width}" height="${javafx.run.height}"
                      nativeBundles="all"

    Do someone has experience with this kind of stuff?
    Or do someone know what could cause this issue?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Chris,
    Thanks for the info/suggestions. I had already done the "clean install" without knowing it. I also had uninstalled Firefox and Chrome and was looking at dumping Safari, but I found the culprit file "_Flash Player.plugin" (version10.2.151.49) on a search for "Flash Player" under Spotlight.
    Strange thing was the file did not appear when just browsing through the various directories or searching with finder. Removed it and all is good.

  • Installation old version Photoshop Elements 4.0 Windows 7, IE 4.0 required, what if you have IE 11.0

    I have an old Version of Photoshop Elements 4.0 on CD and used it long time on Win XP, now i use Win 7.1 and need a new installation.
    Worked till i was asked after Internetexplorer 4.0 was required, and i have IE 11.0 - that is higher - and the Install stopped and doesn't go further.
    How can i install it? IE 6 or 7 won't work with Win7.
    Any ideas? Will not buy another PSE, for my business it's good.
    Thanks!

    You might try XP mode if you have the right version of Windows 7:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7
    Otherwise, you can buy PSE12 from Amazon for about $60:

  • I need to download an old version of Elements

    I have/had Elements 8 and loved it. I had to restore my computer and now I can't find a way to download Photoshop Elements 8. I have my serial number and all that stuff, just can't find a way to downloa it. HELP...... I am not able to upgrade at this time.

    You can look for online if anyone is still selling old versions but you can try using trial of PSE11 and see if you love it.

  • Necessary to uninstall old versions?

    Do I need to uninstall my old Photoshop 7.0 before installing Creative Cloud Photoshop?
    What about my old version of Dreamweaver MX2004? I'd like to avoid having to re-do my two FTP set ups.

    Nope! Any previous versions of Adobe applications you have installed before downloading CS6 apps from Creative Cloud will continue to function normally alongside the new apps
    EDIT: Here's a screenshot of this question from the Creative Cloud FAQ:

  • How to uninstall old versions of Flash player?

    I have the latest version of the Flash Player (9.0.28.0)
    installed.
    However when I run Secunia's software inspector (
    http://secunia.com/software_inspector/?task=load)
    it finds an old version of the Flash 7.0.19.0 and flags it as
    'Insecure'.
    This is in two places:
    C:/WINDOWS/system32/Macromed/Flash/Flash.ocx
    and
    C:/I386/Flash.ocx
    How can I uninstall the old version - I do not see Flash
    Player in Add/Remove of Windows (Win XP SP2)?
    thanks

    It's quite handy, actually, and I suspect relatively new. It
    checks your machine for outdated/unsafe applications:
    http://secunia.com/software_inspector
    And of course it's totally free.
    How can I verify what version(s) of Flash that I might have
    loaded? There's no Program Files entry or anything in Add/Remove,
    etc. OTOH, the Secunia site shows where at least part of the
    product(s) are loaded, yet it's not totally clear to me if those
    locations are in use by the current version.
