Is it safe to uninstall the pre-installed applications on my Acer computer?

Original title: 219 VIEWS; NO ANSWER! >

Of the 219-219! -VIEWERS of this message I posted in December last year.  Some kind person could you please help!

I already have Windows Media Player; Therefore, shouldn't uninstall the preinstalled Acer Arcade Deluxe (Cyberlink Corp.) of programs & features?  I don't use, this portable DVD player except so (very rarely) to play a DVD movie (which I most often use a DVD player/VCR combo, separate to that); so could not also uninstall NTI CD & DVD Maker (New Tech Info Systems)?

The following programs/features, also, have been installed on this laptop Windows Vista, which is about three years old (almost 50 GB is free 70 GB and I used the laptop for less than 250 hours):
Acer eAudio Management (HITRUST Inc.)
Acer empowering Technology
AcerNet management
Acer ePresentation
Acer eSettings Management
Acer GridVista
Plugin Acer Mobility Center
HD Audio Soft Data Fax Modem with Smart CP (Please note that I do not use this PC for fax)
Launch Manager
Energy producer
Please let me know if there are any program in the list above that I should keep it, because I plan to uninstall virtually each of them.
Thank you very much.
Joe

Hello
You can uninstall applications you don't need. But some pre-installed applications may have to be run on the computer, so that it works the way the computer manufacturer wanted it.

It is best to contact Acer and check if it is safe to uninstall the applications mentioned.

  • Impossible to uninstall the pre installed McAfee on my Acer computer.

    When I try to uninstall it by going to the Panel of the McAfee window that opens allows me to choose the program I want to uninstall (McAfee, to two components-personal firewall and central security), goes to the "removal" window, where over a status bar it says "Taking over", however next to two components I selected earlier for uninstall there is a little red x. When I click Next all I get is a window not saying all your McAfee has been uninstalled correctly. I tried to uninstall in safe mode only to get exactly the same result. As the pre installed version, I can't restore the system to an earlier point either. Help, please!

  • How to uninstall the pre-installed games xbox on windows 8?

    Got a new laptop recently with Windows 8 on it. Only really use it for homework and social networks. I can't understand how to uninstall the games that came to this topic. I don't mind them being there but windows store guard invites me to update. There is no uninstall option when I right click on them and they are not one of the available options to uninstall in the menu "Uninstall a program" accessed from the control panel. The games are: Adera, collection Tap tiles Solitaire and a word game that is not named in the icon, the icon is like a word search puzzle. All these have a little xbox live the banner at the top of their tiles.

    This has been fixed with the update windows just prompted me to install.

    Mac OSX 10.11 - prior to joining photography CC, I had already installed the light Room 6.  Now that I joined CC I've noticed that I always seem to have my original LR6 installed.  Is is safe to uninstall the CC version not?

    Don't know what happened... but... this AM to day LR CC to 2015.2.1 and now I have a folder named "Adobe Lightroom".  In this folder is an application named 'Adobe Lightroom' which shows Date of change as 26,2015 Apr, 11:41.

    When I run this application I get info &... "Photoshop Light Room CC Release 2015.2.1.  Don't see no other record any other folder with "Lightroom in the name of".  What I find interesting is that the PS folder is named "Adobe Photoshop CC 2015".

    So basically the things work OK but the naming convention seems a little different.  I'm coming back on "if it is not broken... don't fix.

  • The pre installed MS Office 2010 Starter Pack

    I can't get my MS Office Pro Plus 2010 to install properly and recognize my files because of the pre installed MS Office 2010 starter pack. What do I need to uninstall the starter pack, and then reinstall my legitimate copy before that it will work and recognize all my historical Office files?

    A hard drive with my Adobe leases was virus-infested and destroyed before Adobe products could be uninstalled.

    I had to uninstall the 2nd install computer (laptop) in order to install on my new desk.

    I would like to reinstall on my laptop but cannot because there is no way for me to uninstall from the destroyed hard drive.

    Your instructions tell me to contact me about this.

    Help, please!

    Normally, you do not have to uninstall anything, you only need to disable. You didn't need to uninstall on the laptop, nor do you need to turn it off.  If it is for the creative cloud then you should be able to install and connect on the laptop now and he is likely to ask you if you would allow all other facilities to be disconnected.  You can select Yes which will erase all of the activations, and then after that the laptop is turned on you can connect on the new desktop still once more.

    Hello AmanRaj,

    In fact, you do not delete apps, detach you them or uninstall. Try this if you have uninstalled the app: go to the store, sweeping in a bit on the right side of the screen to bring up the charms. Select search, in search box type xbox for it, then pick it up. Your Xbox app should be listed to be installed.

    Hi padgy,.

    To remove all of the programs that are installed on your computer, all you need to do is click on Start-> Control Panel.

    In Control Panel, under your display settings, choose either "programs and features" or "uninstall a program".

    This will open a list of all the programs installed on your computer.  Select the title you want to delete, and then select "Uninstall" in the top menu.

    In case you have uninstalled a program supplied with your PC accidentally, you can always bring it by using the Recovery Manager.  See this document for more details on the Recovery Manager: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00834921
