Hello,

I am really struggling here to open any files on my laptop which uses vista. I suspect there could be a security setting that im missing.
I tried downloading my new Mcafee which downloads then disappears....
i have tried using the IE right mouse click and run as administrator but it freezes out.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Dear MJMurphy,

The actual problem should be sourcing from your anti virus application which is restricting the task to be completed. You should actually be using AVG anti virus application and hence I will advise you to have it disabled and then to continue with the download.

Thanks.
