Hi Rick: I agree, usually I will just purchase a retail copy of the OS and slip stream SP2 and all updates and make a bootable CD and reinstall with the disk I made from the retail disk I bought and just forget the restore disks. Way to much advertising programs that are either trial versions or crippled versions just because computer companies get kick backs for including these programs in hopes people will purchase the full version or pay for them when the trial limit expires. It's shameless advertising I think. When I pay for a computer, I'm not paying for other companies to advertise their programs on my personal computer. As much as computers cost I don't think they need extra money from software maker to advertise their products without asking the purchaser first. In addition, uninstalling them can leave behind lots of junk in the registry as many programs do not uninstall properly.

Hi Terrill, I'm with you on that, and here's the other nice thing. In most situations anymore, you don't get an operating system disk, but instead a set of recovery cd's, or dvd. So when it becomes necessary to reformat the drive, you get to put all of that stuff back. This is where a image of the drive sure would come in handy. smile Richard Justice www.blind-computing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terrill Reynolds" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2007 3:59 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Dell and Demo programs Hi: That's what I hate about computers that come with their own disks. I always remove all the extra programs they put on a commercial computer. Most if not all are programs that are only trial versions that time out and then ask you to purchase them, or only striped down versions of the program. In most cases other third party programs that do the same thing work better and are more usable with jaws. I would uninstall all of them except for anything like dell diagnostics programs or check for dell updates.

I have a Dell Desk top and it came with all the bells and whistle. I think that I still have those demo programs since day one (2004) and I am wondering what ones you got 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. Please let me know which ones you got rid of.
