What to uninstall and what to keep

I have been an Adobe/Macromedia user for a very long time and I seem to have accumulated a lot of versions of some of the same software on my computer and I need to clean things up and need some help in determining what to uninstall that will not affect the performance of what I currently use.  If anyone out there could spend the time to look over my mess and assist me with this I would be extremely grateful.   What you see below I copied word for word from My Programs List and am using Windows XP Professional.  If I have placed a question mark next to an item it is because I am not sure if I still use it but I do not knowingly ever choose it from the list.  I did not uninstall older software prior to this for fear that I would not e able to gain access to pages I created in the older software using the new version.
What I have:
Macromedia Folder:
Extension Manager?
Freehand MXa no longer use
Fireworks 8 no longer use
Dreamweaver 8 no longer use
Flash 8 no longer use
Flash Video Enhancer 8 ?
Player 8 ?
FlashPaper 2 ?
Homesite + ?
Adobe Folder
ExtendedScript Toolkit ?
Adobe Web Standard CS3 Folder
Bridge CS3 do not use
Contribute CS3 use
Device Central CS3 ?
Dreamweaver CS3 use
Extension Manager CS3 ?
Fireworks CS3 use
Flash CS3 Professional use CS3 now
Flash  CS3 Video Enhancer ?
Adobe Programs listed by themselves not in folder but in Programs List:
Acrobat Distiller 7 use
Acrobat Professional 7 use
Adobe Bridge CS2 and CS3 this is really the major issue, can I delete Bridge CS2 without loosing functionality of other CS2      products I still use?
Designer 7 use
Extended Script Toolkit 2 ?
Go Live CS2 rarely but sometimes use
Illustrator CS2 use
Image Ready CS2 use
InDesign CS2 use
Photoshop CS2 use a lot
Stock Photos do not use
Stock Photos CS3 so not use
Flash CS3 use
Contribute CS3 use
Dreamweaver CS3 use
My issue is what can I safely uninstall without loosing any functionality of the programs I do still use/  Bridge is the major issue.  It takes up so much space and performance I want to uninstall both CS2 and 3 because I never use it but will I loose any functionality of the other programs in the creative
suite of which it is a part?
Anyone who would take the time to assist me I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you,
Jennifer

Bridge takes up next to no space at all. Leave it alone. As for the rest, only you know what you use and what you need.

    I on os x 10.7 and I'm going to upgrade to 10.8 installed messages already do i have to uninstall and what about my mac os x 10.7 applications. Like word and minecraft What happens to them?

    Not until the day that 10.8 is released will anyone know the details but it's doubtful you will have to uninstall Messages. Native Mac OS X applications that run on v10.7 shouldn't be a problem wtih 10.8 but again, we won't know until Mountain Lion is released.

  • Zen Xtra-Failure to uninstall and what to reinsta

    My Zen Xtra (USB on XP) worked perfectly until the sudden failure of CMS to load a new playlist. The Zen itself still works fine. So I thought a quick uninstall reinstall would be reasonable but a 23. MB "Creative" file in "Program Files" would not uninstall.
    Should I ignore this or how can I uninstall it's
    There are now more files on the Creative Download site: 2 driver files, 2 firmware files and 2 other download files, many more than before.
    Should I install them all?
    Thank you.

  • HT201272 You seems not to understand what I mean and what I'm having like problem. I still have my payment recut  from October of this year when I bought 9 songs in the iTunes Store from my iPhone 4S. The problem is from all the 9 songs, 7 are still avail

    You seems not to understand what I mean and what I'm having like problem. I still have my payment receipt  from October of this year when I bought 9 songs in the iTunes Store from my iPhone 4S. The problem is from all the 9 songs I've paid for, only 7 are still available from this list on my iPhone. There is no possibility to download the other 2 without paying for them. I've spoke to the lady from Mississippi on the phone 2 days ago from about 2 hours calling from Belgium but unfortunately she couldn't help me. It's the 3rd time I complain about this. How many time shall I pay for the same songs?? If you can access my music list and my past receipts payment you will be able to find out what I mean. I went back on iTunes I've found the the songs I already downloaded in October that should be on my playlist but if I click on them it will charge me again 0,99 cents. It's been 3 years I've been using the same apple ID with my iPhones. I just wand to get my songs back without having to pay them twice or 3 times

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • What is Autofill and what does it do?

    What is autofill, and what is it supposed to do, because i was trying to fix something else on my iPod, and i pressed this thinking it might help, but now i cant play a ton of songs! I've heard you need to restore the iPod then, but will this erase all my songs?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • What is tomat and what does it do

    what is tomat and what does it do

    It is a server, where you can develop and depoly
    portals, which can be accessed anywhere in the
    network (where u can access the system)And now to give an actual competent and intelligent answer rather than this verbal vomit.
    Tomcat is "Apache Tomcat is a web container developed at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Tomcat implements the servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications from Sun Microsystems, providing an environment for Java code to run in cooperation with a web server." [1]
    For more information about Tomcat look at the Tomcat site http://tomcat.apache.org/
    And for the record if you had used Google you would have had your answer in less time then it took to post your original question.

  • What is Laserfiche and what does it do?

    What is Laserfiche and what does it do?  Does it integrate with O365? Is it a standalone plan or an add on? 

    Hi Amanda,
    Laserfiche is a robust enterprise content, document and records management platform with integrated advanced capture solutions and workflow.  Laserfiche is a certified gold partner with Microsoft, fully integrated into the Office suite, including
    Office 365 and SharePoint.
    Laserfiche provides a platform for centralized content and records storage - ranging from image files to electronic documents to voice and audio files.  It is truly an enterprise wide content management system.  Very often you will find it coupled
    with SharePoint as the back end repository because of the strong workflow designer and engine, which is much easier to use than SharePoint's. 
    Laserfiche includes advanced capture tools in its product suite that can perform automated data capture from paper records, with index fields completed automatically based on the data extracted.  It is widely know as an integrative middleware solution
    as well, and at our company Accelerated Information Systems (disclaimer - we are a Laserfiche reseller and top partner for the North East US) we are able to integrate with ANY other application.  It really is a robust solution that adds features and ease
    of use to a powerful SharePoint platform.
    As far as your final question, Laserfiche is a stand alone product, but relies heavily on Microsoft technologies as it does manage the content we create through MS Office and every day printing.
    Please let me know if you have any other specific questions and I will be more than happy to answer them on this forum thread.

    Thank you so much. I finally got it to work. I don't know why it has to be such an ordeal when it comes to Adobe products!

    I've recently received an error message from Time Machine that my Macbook Pro's sparsebundle is in use.  What is this and what can I do about it?

    This is asked at least 5-6 times a day here.
    Look at the right hand column.. more like this.
    It is a bug in Mountain Lion.
    Read C12 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    But the fast solution.. unplug the TC.. count to 10.. plug it back in.

  • Mac user OS 10.6.8 Firefox 6.0.2. Click the Firefox icon in dock, program does not open new window. Type cmd+N to open new window, cmd+T to open new tab or cmd+L to enter URL, nothing happens. What causes this, and what can be done?

    It's strange. The problem apparently resolved itself after I ran TechTool on it. When I clicked on Firefox last night, I had no problem opening a window. Thanks for your help. (As to your previous post, the focus was on Firefox and neither the speed keys nor the menu bar would open a window or tab of allow me to enter a URL to open a window. Strange!)

  • What are these and what are they useful for?: and

    I have seen these symbols being used in Java: << and >>, what are they and what do they do?
    Thank you.

    As DrQuincy asks how is this of use over multiplying
    and dividing?In your processor there are often different instructions for shifting, multiplying, and deleteing. Typically the shifting instructions take less time to execute and so using the shifting operator will be faster than multiplying. This assumes the compiler doesn't recognize the situation and optimize it out though.
    The >>,<<,>>>, &,|,and ^ operators are mainly useful when you need to deal with individual bits of data. For instance if you are talking to another system (thats not java) that uses a different method of storing numbers (little endian/big endian etc.), or doing something such as creating parity data for error correction. There are lots of things to do, but most a low level and its rare when you need to use them.

  • What LDB is and what are all the events we have in that..?

    Hi,
    Kindly let me know what LDB is and what are all the events we have in that..?
    Akshitha.

    Hi akshitha,
    1. A logical database is in fact
    a program only.
    2. This LDB provides two main things :
    a) a pre-defined selection screen
    which handles all user inputs and validations
    b) pre defined set of data
    based upon the user selection.
    3. So we dont have to worry about from
    which tables to fetch data.
    4. Moreover, this LDB Program,
    handles all user-authorisations
    and is efficient in all respects.
    5. tcode is SLDB.
    1. To get a taste of it.
    2. create a new z program.
    3. while creating type PNP
    in logical database field.
    4. paste this code and execute.
    REPORT ABC.
    infotypes : 0001.
    TABLES : PERNR.
    GET PERNR.
    WRITE :/ PERNR-PERNR.
    5. The selection screen which u see
    is coming from logical database PNP program.
    6. Execute
    7. U will get a list of pernr.
    SAPDBPNP
    this is the main program of LDB PNP
    which does the main work.
    SAPDB + ldb name.
    regards,
    amit m.
