Two versions installed

ladylord

On accessing "Add or Remove Programmes" I find two versions of Office XP. One is Microsoft Office XP Professional with Front Page, version 10.0.6626.0 (259.00 MB) - Used frequently but last used 26/12/2002 ??.

The other is Microsoft Office XP Professionalversion 10.0.6626.0 (253.00 MB) - Used occasionally but last used on27/2/2003

Programmes shows Microsoft FrontPage, created 26/12/2002. Can, or should, I delete one of these to gain some more space on my hard drive or is there another alternative? Please reply to (e-mail address removed) if you can assist

Thanks, RO

two seperate installs

Thanks, DL, but I'm not too sure how to do that. They say a little knowledge is dangerous! Can you please lead me through it?

You dont give yr o/s eg win2k or Winxp? however
My Computer/Explore
The default install path of Officexp is C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office10
Though a quick,simple check might be to search for winword.exe and or
excel.exe or frontpg.exe
These are office app executables, if it find two of these in separate
folders it might indicate two installs.
Though must confess I would have thought it highly unlikely.
e.g. if you use outlook as opposed to outlook express, you cannot install
two on same sys

Thank you - you have been most patient. I am running Windows XP Professional and, yes you are correct I am running Outlook and not Outlook express. I performed a search on Winword.exe and there is only one. So you have been absolutely correct from the start
This all arose because I have a 20g Drive with only 8g left and "add/remove programmes" showed the Office twice and I thought that might be a way to gain some space back

You can try running 'Disk cleanup', with little free space it might take a
while to run.
Maybe think about adding a slave drive?
