most of the programs will tell you to reboot after installation. some don't.
I always reboot.
also, if you don't do anything on the computer and you're at home, do a
Defrag.
after a new installation, files are all over the "place" on the drive. a
defrag put's everything
into the right places and speeds it up some.
it is also good to make a restore point before a new program installation.
if the program should not
work correctly, like with a lot of games, downloaded from the net, then it
is easy to uninstall the program again
and go back to the previous "picture". also check Program Files if anything
is left from that program and delete it.
of course, there are other things, one should do after uninstall, to really
clean everything, but that's another story.
