Microsoft Picture It! Photo Premium 9

I have an old Dell for which I am trying to conserve memory. Without going into great detail, I have successfully uninstalled several non-essential programs from my computer, and have recently installed Service Pack 3 on my XP. Basically, I had found that I still have Microsoft Picture It! Photo Premium 9, and I have not used it once, unless of course it provides access to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, but I can do without that as well. What I want to know is:

  1. Can I safely uninstall this program (using Revo Uninstaller)?
  2. Is there a method in which I can find out which programs are dependent on other programs/applications currently installed on my computer?
  3. When using the "Junk Cleaner" on Revo Uninstall, I notice most of the files are .db files. How important are they, and can I remove them without damaging/erasing any associated files?

I wasn't sure which forum to post this in, but everything relates to my operating system I guess so here it is. Any ideas or info would be greatly appreciated.

Picture It! should have an uninstaller in the Add Remove programs. You should be able to uninstall it with Revo. Picture it! is not associated with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
Most programs are independent of each other unless it comes in as a suite of software. So, there should be no problem uninstalling them. If there is a file that is shared, it will ask you during the uninstall if you want to uninstall this file as well, you can always say no.
Thumbs.db are safe to remove and you can also keep them from being created in the first place. What is thumbs.db, and can I delete it?
You will not conserve memory by deleting any more files (RAM is memory, you will regain HDD space but you only need to do this if you are running low) Open My Computer and right click the C: drive /Properties what is the full capacity of the drive and the Free space available?

What I meant by memory was storage space. From a 70.9 GB hard drive I have less than 2GB of space left, and uninstalling Picture It! will give me another 116MB. Among other things, I need prioritize all these programs. So, what you're saying is that this uninstall will not interfere with any other programs on my computer? Microsoft doesn't seem to like it whenever I try to disable and/or delete one of its attributes; we have.......a history.
