I have the adobe ceative suite 5.5 web premium on my computer; not a subscription; I own it.

It comes with bridge, contribute, dreamweaver, etc.

Can I uninstall all BUT the photoshop?

And if I uninstall ALL of it, can I just reinstall the Photoshop part?

thanks : )

1. Yes, deactivating one CS title usually deactivates them all.

2. Use the Adobe Cleaner tools to remove unwanted Adobe software.

3. Restart computer.

4. Insert disk, install Photoshop.

5. Restart computer.

The best course from this point would be to:

1. Uninstall all of the Adobe apps.

2. Use CCleaner from Adobe to remove all the unnecessary files from the system.

3. Install only Photoshop and then activate it.

wow; that's a LOT of stuff in there!

ok; I downloaded the tool.

I owned Adobe Creative suite 5.5 web premium (upgraded from 5.0 I think).

I believe I chose #9; I hope that was correct.

It took me a long time to figure out how to get to the logs;

but I guess there's 3 types; I didn't have the first 2 that I could find; no such logs.

Re the third one: log.gz I found that.

I forget where I found it now? (win 10)

but I copied and pasted in a word doc also.

But I'm overwhelmed; I lost it after that. I don't know what to do.

Am I supposed to do something with that?

It all appeared to unstall perfectly (even before the cleaner thing); so Im not sure why I'm doing the cleaner thing?

anyway; what should I do next?

should I try to install Photoshop only?

thanks

what do you mean 'remove everything old'?

I only want to remove programs associated with the creative suite 5.5 web premium.

does adobe connect have something to do with creative suite 5.5 web premium? if not, then would that mean my computer is otherwise using it?

does adobe flash player 32 NPAPI have something to do with 5.5? or does the typical windows 10 computer use this for something else?

does adobe shockwave player 12.3 have something to do with creative suite 5.5?

or are you referring to something else?

thanks

For security reasons, you should remove all old Adobe files from your system. That goes for old Flash players, Acrobat Readers, Flex, Air and anything else you come across.

I have never tried to deactivate & uninstall only one part of a suite

I HAVE installed just one program in a suite... last year, so I don't remember the exact steps

I can't believe what I just did!

I thought I'd try it; so I did the checking of the boxes wrong; argghhhhh; and uninstalled photoshop ONLY! instead of everything else.

now how do I get JUST photoshop back?

and when I 'deactivated'; I went into Dreamweaver and deactivated; that works for all of suite, correct?

thanks
