I figured JAWS may not be the only program that has shared components, so I thought I'd check. Heretofore, I just used the Office uninstall routines. I May do it by degrees, Tim--take off 2003 first, then 2007. I don't know why I worry with the size of today's drives, but I just like to keep it neat. I started with a 10MB drive years ago, and I thought that was The Ponderosa. I still had empty space when I discontinued that good old XT.

You can safely uninstall the older version of office. That said, the only downside of leaving the older version is the amount of disk space the program is taking up. Also, there are some aspects of the newer versions of Office that make JAWS more convoluted to use compared with earlier versions, so you may want to keep that older version if your project involves tasks that are easier to do in the older version.

Can I uninstall old Office versions without damaging the current one? I've got Revo, but haven't put it on my current PC. I like it, but never gave it its head, harking back to a sad experience I had with Norton several years ago. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Tim Ford Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2015 1:18 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] need help uninstalling a program I agree that Revo Uninstaller does a better job of removing all the pieces, especially if you change the filter level from moderate (the default) up to the "thorough" level, which is the highest of the three. A tech friend of mine found this program removed pieces that he had not been able to remove with the standard Windows uninstaller, and it fixed the sluggish performance problem he was having. I have used Revo Uninstaller for a number of years, and always with good effects.

I am wondering if this program does a better job than just the standard Windows UnInstaller? I'm not sure windows does as complete a job as this describes. What is your experience?
