1. You don't need Adobe AIR, Download Updater (AOL LLC), any of the HP stuff, OpenOffice, Roxio Creator DE, Shop for HP Supplies, and WinRAR Archiver. The rest of the stuff is necessary to function or necessary to do stuff like watch videos. You might want to keep OpenOffice if you ever need to type something, its a free alternative to microsoft word.
2. Well for sure you need, -NVIDIA Drivers -Java(TM) 6 update -Adobe flash player 10 ActiveX -Adobe flash player 10 plugin -Adobe shockwave player 11.5 That's about it I think, I don't have to worry about space in my computer because I have 1tb of space. I have my computer for 2 and 1/2 years now and I still have plenty of space. I never deleted any programs yet..
