Hello,
I recently acquired an ACER laptop, but it is (like all branded PCs) packed with various programs that I will probably have no use for.
Could you help me uninstall the ACER software that is already part of Vista or that serves no purpose at all??
Here is a list of the programs installed at purchase that I hesitate to uninstall:
1) ACER CRYSTAL EYE WEBCAM EDITOR SONIX
2) ACER CRYSTAL EYE WEBCAM EDITOR SUYIN
3) ACER EAUDIO MANAGEMENT
4) ACER EDATASECURITY MANAGEMENT
5) ACER ELOCK MANAGEMENT
6) ACER EMPOWERING MANAGEMENT
7) ACER ENET MANAGEMENT
8) ACER EPOWER MANAGEMENT
9) ACER EPRESENTATION MANAGEMENT
10) ACER ESETTINGS MANAGEMENT
11) ACER GRIDVISTA
12) ACER MOBILITY CENTER PLUG-IN
13) ACER SCREENSAVER
14) ALPS TOUCH PAD DRIVER
15) BIG KAHUNA REEF 2
16) BROADCOM GIGABIT INTEGRATED CONTROLLER
17) CAKE MANIA
18) DYNASTY
19) GALAPAGO
20) HDAUDIO SOFT DATA FAX MODEM WITH SMARTCP
21) INTEL(R) GRAPHICS MEDIA ACCELERATOR DRIVER
22) INTEL(R) MATRIX STORAGE MANAGER
23) LAUNCH MANAGER
24) LUXOR 2
25) MICROSOFT TEXT TO SPEECH ENGINE 4.0 ENGLISH
26) MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ 2005 REDISTRIBUTABLE
27) MICROSOFT WORKS (for information, I installed Office with FrontPage)
28) MSXML 4.0 SP2 KB936181
29) MSXML 4.0 SP2 KB941833
30) MYSTERY CASE FILES - PRIME SUSPECT
31) MYSTERY CASE FILES - RAVENHEARTS
32) NTI BACKUP NOW 4.7
33) NTI CD & DVD - MAKER
34) POWER PRODUCER
35) REALTEK HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DRIVER
36) STAR DEFENDER 3
37) TREASURE OF THE DEEP
38) ZUMA DELUXE
That’s quite a lot of "disruptive" software, right?
I’m reaching out to you to make sure I don’t uninstall any essential drivers for the PC and regret it later since no CD or DVD was provided with the laptop.
Thanks in advance.

then there are games too depending on whether you want to keep them or not and there are probably other things to get rid of
otherwise if you're not very sure, launch the programs in question and see what they offer you and if you don't need them, delete them.

by the way, I have the same confusion when I saw the Acer screensaver
I don’t really care about what it offers, but will uninstalling it not cause system malfunctions? I was wondering, for example, if it won’t prevent the PC from going to sleep???
As soon as a program is not essential for the proper functioning of the system, I like to get rid of it.
thanks in advance
