Hi, i have dell laptop, running windows 2000 professional,
Service pack 3....after experience some problems due to
some downloads from Windows update site, i started to
realize there are a LOT of programs i'd like to remove
that i don't use....
I USE MS Word a lot....but i also have in ADD REMOVE
microsoft works suite 2001 and something called microsoft
add-in for microsoft word, and something else called the
works installer...i do not use these programs, even
windows tells me i use them "rarely"...
after reading from this site how to remove them i guess i
realize it isn't as easy as simply clicking remove from
the ADD REMOVE programs in the CONTROL PANEL...the
instructions say, IF i'm reading them right, that i have
to use the CD for WORKS and go through the steps outlined
in Q239970 "Works 2000: How to Change the Works 2000
Installation" I have a couple of questions...
first, have I read the article above correctly? Is this
the ONLY way to UNistall Works Suite? OR can it simply be
removed in a simpler way from the ADD REMOVE portion of
the control panel?
second, when i clicked on the frequency of use link in the
ADD REMOVE programs on these three progams i'd like to get
rid of, they ALL said that the last time I used them was
May 24th. in fact, i NEVER used them on that day. BUT that
day WAS the day of a number of critical downloads from the
update site. given what i have come to understand about
how interconnected all this stuff is (i'm NOT a tech or
inclined that way), will UNinstalling these programs
affect the performance or functionality of my system. i
HAVE to assume that whatever the downloads were, and i
have a list of them by number that i made on that day,
somehow affected or changed the Works programs I'd like to
get rid of?
All I want is simple MS WORD. and ANY help in answering
these questions would really be appreciated. thank you so
much.
