This new facility, remove programs with add/remove program?

I will upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows xp and need to do a clean install.  My question is can I remove all the programs with the Add/Remove program?

Not necessary because by definition a 'Clean Install' will delete your previous system of operating Windows (XP in your case), all applications and personal data files (backup of your data files before you start the upgrade).

After the upgrade to Windows 7, you must reinstall applications, so round up your software installation media and make sure you can find your software product keys.

  • Installation on new Windows10 Photoshop7 computer with 2 to and 16 GB

    I use Photoshop7 for years and I'm comfortable with it. I installed it on all new computers because I get them because I got it and it has always worked well. Now I try on my computer last new, which has Windows 10, 2 TB and 16 GB of Ram, and all I get is an error that says: "Could not initialize Photoshop because the"scratch disks"is full."

    I read through many articles, forums, etc. All of them seem to be of the spirit you need to partition your drive hard to make it work. I am not all that computer savvy and don't know, I want to do this (not sure how that impacts my space). In addition, it seems that most of the responses came from questions that came years ago or on different versions of Windows. If I put it out there again. Adobe has created something to solve this problem? Is there a way around it?

    I tried to download the trial version Photoshop to online, but for this simple user, this new and improved program is much too complicated (and expensive). I don't want to pay a monthly fee to use it either. I just wanted to be able to use my old version on my new computer. Is there a way?

    Thank you in advance.

  • When you try to install my new Embird program I get the message "this link must be opened with an application, select application. What does that mean?

    Help, I hope that I've not messed up, too bad!

    Help, I have a small embroidery business and have used a program called Embird.  Yesterday, I downloaded an upgrade for this program. It said to uninstall the old program before installing the new, so I did.  Now when I try to install the new one it says this link must be opened with an application, select application.  I have no idea what it means that someone can help me?  I tried to restore the computer to a date prior to just start all over hoping he would restore the old Embird, it says that the file may be damaged and will not work.

    If you were able to 'merge', you have unzipped the file somehow.  What was all the messages when you did the merger?

    Follow these steps:

    1 information about the particular file in question

    Right-click on the downloaded file, and select Properties.  What does say for 'File Type' and what is the 3-letter file extension (after the point)?

    If there is no file extension, find the file using Windows Explorer, and then click Tools > Folder Options > view.  Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" and click OK.  Now, look at the file again for the file extension.

    For Photoshop CS2 activation has been reprocessed, so your original drive and the serial number does not work.

    As an owner of CS2, Adobe has a copy without activation and serial number, to which you are entitled.

    The serial number is to the right of the download link for Windows. You'll need this one, not your old number.

  • cartridge in the slot on the left is not intended to be used with this printer. Remove and replace

    Hello

    After using my printer on a regular basis and without any problem, I suddenly had this coming message: "cartridge in the slot on the left is not intended for use in this printer. Remove and replace.

    I have a computer that is running Windows 7, 64-bit and the cartridges that I use are all genuine HP cartridges, black and tricolor cartridges are XL.

    What surprises me the most, is that the left cartridge is not empty, I without touching it, there was no jam paper, or any other poor behaviour of the printer. It happened just in the middle of printing, the printer just finished a job, and was about to start the second in the queue. Maybe this detail can help or it's just a coincidence...

    Thank you for your help

    Hi all

    Help needed please.

    HP dx2250 microtower, running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, recently attacked by Vista Antispyware 2010. Norton 360 V3 dealt with rather late the virus, but the fall of the remains.

    I am unable to open any .exe file (program) on the desktop, start menu, or through the browser. I can access the programs in opening a data file, for example, double-click a .doc file opens MS Word, etc.

    The error message "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. "

    I tried an automated solution that is available via the forums (exefix_cu.reg) and also a manual suggestion to change the registry, also available through the forum.

    I also splashed by and purchased Regcure, who seems to have done no difference despite who claims to have removed 1500 odd errors. So I'll be request the refund on that one.

    I scanned the forums and found a large number of similar problems, but not one that is as complete as this.

    Any help much appreciated

  • It is essential to disable CS6 apps when a new DISK is used, with a new facility? (on the same computer)

    Hi guys,.

    I have CS6 Production Premium installed on my old iMac (in a "traditional HD)"

    Now, I've added a new SSD for my (now former) machine

    My plan is to do a new installation for the system and all my applications on this new SSD, including those from Adobe.

    My question is: it is necessary to DISABLE the CS6 apps on my old HD before you install and activate these apps on my new SSD? Or is not needed? (later, once I check that everything goes great with my new SSD, my plan is to erase and format the old HD to use it as a department store)

    I ask this question because I read as 'Deactivation' is necessary when you switch from an old computer to a new one. But on this case, the computer is the same, it's just a new DISK SSD that will be used for the system and applications.

    Thank you! :-)

    Activating puts a 'mark of use' in the Adobe database... you are allowed only TWO active activations... so if you enable one, your 2nd install use then your activation allowed 2nd... where is indifferent (new drive in the same computer or on a different computer) only the fact that activation adds a 'brand usage' in database activation
