    How many Adobe programs do I NEED on my computer?
    « on: June 30, 2009, 06:05:50 PM »
    I have a Dell.  I use Windows XP.  I have on my add/remove programs list the following programs:  Acrobat.com, Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX, Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin, Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX, Adobe Reader, Adobe Shockwave Player, and Adobe Shockwave Player 11.  I am trying to delete and remove all unneccessary programs after having taken my tower into a repair shop.  They added a whole bunch of junk that I didn't want.

      Acrobat.com is a suite of free web applications from Adobe Systems that allows users to create, store and share documents and PDF files on-line
      If you use it, leave it, if not uninstall.

      Adobe AIR - uninstall

      Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX - you need it
      Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin - you need it

      Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX - uninstall

      Adobe Reader 9 - I recommend, you unistall Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is a resource hog, and install FoxIt Reader: http://www.filehippo.com/download_foxit/, which is much smaller, and faster. It does very same thing.

      Adobe Shockwave Player - you need it
      Adobe Shockwave Player 11 - you need it
