Please! Perhaps Vista is trying to give you an estimate of the worth of McAfee software! d  Seriously, give this a try; http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/19...formation.html This is a forum that lists a large number of tutorials to solve many problems with Vista. If the link above doesn't do the trick, search that site. You may find something else that will help. -- Dave T. You can't imagine the extra work I had when I was a god. - Hirohito, Emporer of Japan

Please! Usually with new computers you need to register the preinstalled security software. Have you done this? In any case, McAfee is one of the worst choices for security software you could make (with Norton being another bad one). My recommendation would be to completely uninstall McAfee and use something better. Commercially, I like NOD32. For free antivirus software, I like Avast.
