I have just updated from Photoshop CC 2015 to CC2017 which included the newer version of camera raw, photoshop itself works ok if maybe a little slower on my machine, which is a 2007 iMac intel dual. Core with 4gb ram. However if I open a raw file the whole system immediately hangs, and will only respond to a hard boot. I have uninstalled CC 2017 and reinstalled CC 2015 but it still has the newer camera raw which still freezes the imac, how can I remove the newCamera raw and reinstall the old one, any help appreciated
Could you try turning off Photoshop > Preferences > Camera Raw > Use Graphics Processor and restarting Photoshop?
That the OS freezes indicates a problem outside of Adobe’s applications – driver, OS, hardware, …
As fro rolling back ACR you may want to post on the Camera Raw Forum.

Turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences is no proper solution as it invalidates GPU dependent features (like the Rotate View Tool for example) but it indicates problems with the GPU driver or the OS.
You could also try turning it back on and turning it off for ACR specifically (Photoshop > Preferences > Camera Raw > Ue Graphics Processor).
