Adobe Experts? Options

[IzzyGrace]

I am a total loser. I complained because when I had CS2, I was able to make animated graphics. I haven't been able to do that since I got CS3, because all of the programs on my cpu got erased a while back, so I got a new one.

Well, now, months later, I discover the whole CS3 package that I got. Adobe Master Collection CS3 is what it's called. Now, I have all of these programs, and I have no clue how to use them or what they do.



Those are all the programs I have. I know what Dream Weaver and Photoshop do, but I have no clue about the rest :| I'd rather not break my computer trying to find out. It's got a whole bunch of kinks and viruses I'm trying to sort out, and my Photoshop itself isn't working. Help?

just so we're clear, you CAN make animated graphics on cs3. photoshop cs3 is like a combo of the old imageready and photoshop.]

if i were you, i wouldn't delete anything yet until you sort out your "kinks and viruses."

if you're only going to do graphics and only normal things, however, i would get rid of everything except:
photoshop, flash, illustrator, dreamweaver, acrobat, and MAYBE indesign.
