    I got a really good deal on my FZ this past Xmas and am generally really happy with my purchase.

    However, some of the Sony preloaded software seems pretty useless like:

    1) Because I have an Nvidia card, AV mode is pointless
    2) Yesterday, the Intervideo WinDVD stopped loading and I can't fix it.

    Since I have not used any of the Sony programs except for the WinDVD, I'm thinking about uninstalling all the Sony preloaded programs (not drivers), and was wondering if any of you found some of the Sony software programs actually useful at a later date (the media center, corel, etc). If so, which ones?

    Thanks for your help.
