to run a specific program, I needed .net framework 2 installed. I downloaded
it from the Microsoft site. I noticed that I still had versions 1 and 1.1
already installed as well. Can this complicate computer performance and can I
safely delete .net framework versions 1 and 1.1.

2.0 is not a replacement for 1.1 - if you have anything that requires 1.1,
you will need it as well.
Thank You, I kinda figured as much but I'm having a problem with Outlook all
of a sudden and I thought having 3 versions of the .net framework might be
the culprit.
thanks to you, I wont create another problem.

No, not at all.

Some programs that use .net need the correct specific version. It's
best to leave them all installed.

Framework 1.0 is basically obsolete now as many .NET developers don't code in
Visual Studio.NET 2002 these days. Version 1.1 (for Visual Studio.NET 2003) is
required as there are many applications that use this version of the framework
(including applications developed by myself). Version 2.0 of the framework is
used by Visual Studio.NET 2005 & many developers (including myself) use this
version of the framework too. Some graphics card drivers were developed in .NET
Framework 2 too. Version 3 is for applications mainly developed for Windows
Vista
If you uninstall a version of the framework then if the installed (or to be
installed) application requires it then you'll need to download & install again.
There is a plugin called a bootstrapper that is used to include the framework
with the distributed application, yet most developers (myself included) don't
include the framework in the installation package because if the application is
only a 500 kb for example you don't want to add 23.1 MB framework on to of that

Thank you,
That's what I gathered but as you state at the end, conserving space is a
consideration - on the user end as well. If I don't need an application and
the extra MB is uses, I want to delete it. I seems wise in this case however
to leave these two installed.

If the installation/removal of .NET Framework causes some sort of space
concern - you need a larger hard disk drive so you can be less concerned
about such stunted amounts of space (or you need to prioritize, archive, etc
more often...)
All three fully-released versions of the .NET framework - installed - should
be less than 250MB (1/3 of a CD, 1/16 of a single-layer DVD...)

Or, to put it in terms of monetary value, about US$.20 worth.
It's a *tiny* amount of disk space.
