WebPlus X5: Changing from x4 to x5 question

[restorian]

Hi, Old man here again. I have recently bought webplus x5 to supercede my webplus x4 which I have used to run and maintain an exhisting website. I have very limited space on my harddrive .When I install x5 (420 MB)will it delete x4 (which is about 500 MB) or will it just use up more hardrive space. I am already down to about 15% free space on my hard drive. Once installed can I delete my X4 and thus save space. Old man is getting very weary of technical stuff. :-)

Dearest Elder:

Have you done some hard drive maintenance recently?

1. Review contents of the Recycle Bin and delete.
2. Run disk defragmenter

Yes, you can install X5 and once you know that your site works fine, you can uninstall X4.

Hope this helps

Hi MJ yeah done all that, time and time again, but when your 12 year old computer only has 20 gig hardrive you get a bit short of space. I heard theres more space out in America. :-) Thanks for the advice

WOW!!!

12 years old and still running along.

If this is a desktop computer, you may be able to install a second internal hard drive. It's easy to do.

I was running an XP Pro system at about 7% last years. Such fun,

Yeah 12 years old. I bought it new for my 98th birthday.

I`ve just discovered I`ve still got Webplus10 on my hard drive though I`ve been using Webplus X2 for years. I thought uninstalling it might help speed up my PC in some small way and after reading this thread I didn`t think it`d do any harm. The thing is when I try to uninstall it half way through the process it comes up "Fatal error during installation" and it`s still there !
I`m running XP.

thanks for your reply. I did manage to uninstall my x 4, no problems so far.
