Can you reinstall a program if you already have it on your computer and if so will it do anything?

Yes you can re-install programs that are already on your computer. What happens depends on the installer. A good installer will automatically switch to maintenance mode if the version you are installing is the same as the one that is already installed -- allowing you to modify the installation (add or remove components). If there is no maintenance mode it should simply repair the installation if anything is missing, or let you know the software is already installed. If the versions are different, the installer should offer to remove the existing installation if it is older, or alert you if it is newer (typically you have to manually uninstall newer versions before installing older versions). A bad installer will simply install over the existing installation regardless, however the complexity of the software will determine if this is a good thing or not.

What do i do if a program doesn't want to open?
It depends on what kind of computer you have (PC vs. Mac), but usually you want to either restart your computer or reinstall the program. I'd suggest restarting the computer first - a lot of times when a program does not want to open, it's because the program is already open and you just can't see it. (This happens a lot on a PC.) If restarting the computer doesn't help, uninstall and then reinstall the program.

You should properly uninstall the program. 1st go to Control Panel and select Add or Remove Programs. Uninstall the program you wanted to uninstall. After that you can then manually remove the remaining files of the program in your hard disk commonly located at the folder Program Files in Drive C. Finally try to reinstall the program you wish to install.
