Microsoft .NET Framework?

I have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 currently on my PC. Do I need both of these or can I delete the 1.1 version? I am currently experiencing some performance issues and am trying to clean some things off my system. Thanks a bunch for your help.

Cleaning off the .Net frameworks will likely not improve your performance. Defraging your hard drive and disabling or uninstalling unnecessary services will go a long way toward improving the performance. Everything depends on where your bottleneck in performance is, whether processor, memory or disk.

hey you know what you should not keep two .net framework.instead you should uninstall 1.1 because its now old .2.0 is currently the latest version.so try to uninstall 1.1 and see if you still experience problems.you will not.

enjoy!
you can delete 1.1 if you have 2.0 installed

I see no reason to keep both using you are using 1.1 for something

You actually do need both, as .NET is not completely backwards compatable. The chances of you needing 1.1 are kinda slim, but you may end up needing it for some older programs.

"Several backward and forward incompatibilities exist between .NET 1.0, .NET 1.1, and .NET 2.0. These are well-documented however, and mostly include security fixes, changes in the underlying implementation (such as the GetHashCode implementation), as well as marking many methods as Obsolete. Additionally, the framework allows running different versions side-by-side, to alleviate problems of version incompatibility."
