Only you know what you can or can't delete. Why don't you google for them
and see whether you use them?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. How big is your hard drive? How about adding a bigger hard drive to your system and move your data, music, pictures, etc, to it. I don't think you will gain that much space removing what you list. BTW one item I would leave alone is SoundMax, it is related to the built-in sound device of your computer.

Don't "delete" their files. If you think you will use any of these applications in the future, make sure you have the installation media or you'll be out of luck. and a funny one: Microsoft Office XP Professional, but I have the Home edition (????) Office XP Professional is a word processing application like Microsoft Office. It can be installed on either Windows XP Home or Professional; it's not part of the operating system. Any help will be greatly appreciated. You paid good money for these applications when you bought the computer, why throw them away? Buy another hard drive, put it in the machine, and move your documents, pictures, movie files, and music files to the new drive. These are the files that are eating up your drive space.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Some of the other posts have good advice, especially about uninstalling anything you don't/won't use. But that's only going to be a band-aid approach and it won't be long before you're back with the same question again. The best solution is to get a larger hard drive and replace your current small drive with it. A new drive should even come with software for copying everything off the old drive and onto the new drive as long as the new drive is the same size or larger. You gave no information on your current system, so I can't make any size recomendations or anything else either. More details would get you a lot better responses. Drives are very cheap these days. Take a look at some of the better ones: Maxtor, Seagate, Western Digital, Acom, and the list goes on. Prices vary widely so when you find something you like, look for other places that supply the same thing; you might find better prices. I often find the mfr's themselves will offer the best or next to best price and I try to buy directly from them just for the support they offer. HTH, Twayne`

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Viewpoint Media Player is a "phone-home" bug. AOL bought it about three/four years ago. WHY would they?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Eliminating programs is nibbling at the margins. Programs take up very little room compared to data. A better solution is to collect the coins from under your sofa's cushions. Trade these coins for a terabyte hard drive.
