I need a little help or suggestions with an upgrade to Version 6 of Photo shop from a full version of Version 5.
I used the Ver. 6 upgrade of Photo Shop to upgrade my full Ver. 5 of Photo Shop. I then removed the Ver.5 Program using the uninstall utility in windows under the control panel and it no longer appears listed as a program in that window. Of course I did this because I have limited disc space on my laptop.
I still find that when I sometimes open a document from the document (Double Click), version 5 opens it and works perfectly. Of course if I open Ver. 6 then open the document, version 6 also works fine.
I then noticed that Version 5 was still listed under the start program selection process under the Adobe header. I then right clicked and deleted it 5 from the program menu. I still have the same problem.
I then explored my system hierarchy and found that the Ver. 5 folder under… C:Program Files/Adobe/Photo Shop 5… and all the underlying support hyarchy folders is still there in it’s entirety.
I am pretty sure I can just delete the folder, but before I do, does anyone know why this is happening as this has never happen before when deleting any program. And if I do delete the folder Ver. 5 folder will Version 6 work, as it is an upgrade to version 5.
Any help is certainly appreciated!
Thanks,
