I am still new also but it has been my experience that when you install a new version of a program it gets installed over the existing version unless you specifically install it as a new program in a different directory from the other. Clear as mud yet? :) If you need to uninstall programs you should use the uninstall program that comes with most programs or get an uninstaller utility program. DON'T just start deleting files because you might uninstall a file that a different program shares with the one you are getting rid of. That is all I can tell you but I think it is accurate and I hope someone else will correct me if I am wrong. Good luck, Cliff
