ratchet Posted October 8, 2005 CID Share Posted October 8, 2005 If I delete them, am I uninstalling the app or are they used to do the uninstalling (I think some apps have uninstallers or am I clueless here?)? I think a lot, if not most, are Windows updates. As you might have guessed, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to computers. If it wasn't for being the father of four adult children who grew up during this era and for having to have some skills for work, I'd probably be doing something else now. Thank You!

Shug7272 Posted October 9, 2005 CID Share Posted October 9, 2005 Those look like some updates for big name computers like Compaq or Dell. Use Your Uninstaller to yank em if your going to do it. That programs the bomb and can allert you to if they are important or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchet Posted October 9, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 9, 2005 This link explains what they are (I think). Since the hot fixes are pretty old and my pc has been great I could probably remove them. Or better not? http://windowsxp.mvps.org/spuninst.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsnet2k8 Posted October 9, 2005 CID Share Posted October 9, 2005 Just a question' why are you trying to delete or uninstall them? are they giving you problems' I still remember it used to bother me seeing things that i didn't understand and when i got rid of them i payed the consequences for not knowing and being bothered about things that are a necessity for my computer to run properly.....
