[Blind-Computing] Dell and Demo programs
Hello all, I was reading a post from the Jaws User List and this brought to mind a question that I have been wondering for quite a while now. I have a Dell Desk top and it came with all the bells and whistle. I think that I still have demo programs since day one (2004) and I am wondering what ones I should get rid of? I keep coming across programs that I never use, but I am a little concern whether I should uninstall them or just leave them alone taking up valuable disk space. Below are some of the programs in program files which I don't use or have no idea what to do with them. Microsoft Encarta Dell Picture Studio v2.0 Jasc Software Inc microsoft FrontPage Rainbow Technologies Viewpoint Windows Journal Viewer XEROX Your Company Name I would appreciate it if you would let me know which ones I should get rid of mentioned here or other ones not listed. Thanks in advance, Lennie At 07:08 PM 7/6/2007, you wrote: I have a two year old Dell Inspiron running XP Pro and 2GB of memory and it is extremely stable and performs well. I can't recall all of it's bells and whistles just now but suffice it to say when I bought it I had them cram all of the computing power in it that was available at the time. The down side is that with Dell you will end up deleting a whole bunch of demo programs that Jaws doesn't like. I also installed my own copy of office-XP on it. Unfortunately you can't buy a machine with windows only installed on it from Dell. They need to squeeze in all of that stuff their affiliates pay them to install.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Dell and Demo programs
Well the rainbow program might be useful because if memory serves it has something to do with external flash drives or the like. Nothing else seems to be anything you might ever need unless you are planning to publish a web page using front page. Encarta hasn't been accessible for possibly never actually.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Dell and Demo programs
Hi Lennie, Here's a quick summary of the programs you mentioned, so it really comes down to personal preference. Microsoft Encarta-encyclopedia, not free Dell Picture Studio v2.0-not sure if you might need this to open image files. Jasc Software Inc-I believe this for something like paint shop pro. microsoft FrontPage-web design Rainbow Technologies-software for Jaws dongle. Viewpoint-media player, I got rid of mine. Windows Journal Viewer-you may want to hang on to this until you get more info on it. XEROX-I have the same thing on my systems, I just left it. Your Company Name-never heard of it. Be careful of what you un-install, because the programs you keep, may have dependencies on some of these programs. Also, if they are not consuming a really large amount of space, it may be just as well to leave them be.
