I have also downloaded Adobe Application Manager as an update. I am running Elements 10, Flash 11, and Reader 8.1. I am wondering if AAM is needed to continue to recieve updates and maintain proper functionality for Elements?

I have read this post and the one listed above. After updating, I also realized that none of the programs listed in AAM are ones that I possess or want. When I go to my start menu and click on "Adobe Application Manager" (WIndows 7), it makes me enter my Adobe ID and password, then basically displays a list of programs that I can "install". I have also noticed that when I click on Help > Update in Photoshop Elements or Organizer, AAM comes up instead of my normal "checking for updates" window. This all seems pointless.

I do not wish to simply uninstall AAM if doing so inhibits "updater functionality" or causes "incorrect functioning" of Elements as described in the first response. I use my photoshop.com site frequently. However, it seems like this program is unnecessary for those of us running applications not listed in the app manager itself. Do I need it when I'm just running Elements 10? Also, as mentioned in the other post, will it be taken off my update list if I uninstall?

Thanks
