quick time player uninstall

[dudidan]

When uninstalling QTP, it asks me if I want to 'Uninstall Everything' which includes 'systems extensions.'
If I choose this option it says it may cause some applications to malfuntion and that this option is not recommended. Do I need to do this to get rid of all the garbage?  I wonder if anyone else has ever experienced this.  I just want to be sure I don't create more problems. This warning has me a bit wary.

I did it when I uninstalled QT.  Take that as what you will.

[dudidan]

Joleen,
any problems after you did?

[Raptor]

More programs show that kind of warning. I usually ignore them and remove the files. You may wish to backup the files before you allow them to be removed before continuing.

[Joleen]

Nope no problems.

[Raptor]

Nope no problems.

Except for the time your computer catched fire, remember?

Except for the time your computer catched fire, remember?

Oh yeah.. and my eyebrows are almost all the way back in

They teach you to say 'catched' in school Raptor? *poke*

[Raptor]

Catched

10. To come upon unexpectedly or by surprise; to find; as, to catch one in the act of stealing.

Did they teach you to doubt a Raptor in school?  

[Joleen]

Catched is rarely used

Except by those in TPB.

From your same source.

[Raptor]

TPB is actually a recognized abbreviation by Acronym Finder Search..

TPB

Trailer Park Boys (TV series)

Talking about TPB, is Season 4 out yet?

[Joleen]

Waaaay off topic now but I know the tv rips are out but I also know you don't like them.  Dunno about the DVD rip.

[dudidan]

you guys always wander off like that?
i went ahead and trusted my instincts and qtp is gone.
thanks Joleen for a nudge.

[2k dummy]

you guys always wander off like that?

Its their nomadic nature.

[Raptor]

It's all Joleens fault, that was obvious, aye?

Anyhow, if you want another answer; unless the files are used by another program and you know they are, donot remove them. If not, create backups if you want 100% certainty and then remove them.

[Joleen]

Backups??  We don' need no stinkin' backups!
