Rob,

See it just as a servicepack.

You need it as the programs you are using do need it otherwise you don't
need it.

To say it in other words you can run Dos programs with the MS-Dos
operatingsystem and don't need any windows OS for that.

However I assume you have installed a Windows OS.

Hi Rob,

You probably have it because one of the applications on your computer needs
it. We cannot tell which application needs it. However, if you remove the
framework, that application will stop functioning. It does no harm to leave
it there.

If I'm right about this, I need some suggestions as to the...
