    Sometime ago, I was downloading software to check my audio codecs and the site installed Microsoft.net Framework 2.0 on my computer, saying I needed it.
    I've since uninstalled the codac software. In viewing a discription of this 88 mb's of software on the Windows Update sight, it says it is for programmers to facilitate the creation programs. If this is so, do I, as a person who can't even program his new TV:), need it? Can I remove it from my computer without affecting other programs, which I do use? TIA

    I would leave it since it's possible another application might need it.

    Hi dennisneff. I agree with Steve. Some applications such as drivers need .Net Framework installed in order to function properly. I would leave it installed.

    Thank you, Steve and Evan,

    I have tons of disk space so will leave it installed.
