Hi Steve,
When Troubleshooting, it's always good to explore what's active or not.
Exploring what's on the screen is the first thing to do. Plus, making sure
we have full installation privileges in XP. So, mister McAfee is
complaining. Some Anti-Virus software are configured to let the user decide
whether to allow something or not. That's normal. Norton has that same
feature. I will not recommend to get rid of McAfee. It's better to deal with
its configuration and warning messages. I use it at home and at work and
usually, it works in the background even when updating its virus list file.
I get a warning from time to time, and I deal with it using the Jaws cursor.
Anyway, prior to allowing anything, read the warning message and decide
accordingly. Finally, Norton and McAfee are both good and they protect us.
Please keep us posted.
Adam

and what do ya know. The great macafee has been coming up and jaws doesn't
say it but it says "Macafee recommends that you; and you have a choice to
grant access. I found this with the jaws cursor and was too late because it
said a communications error has occurred. I will be rid of macafee soon and
will go back to norton. I was able to work with that one. Is there a
security setting that will let me bypass this prompt of whether I will allow
something or not? Also when I try to listen to Paul Harvey, using real
player, I get a message that says that something is trying to be loaded and
do I want to allow it. I wouldn't ask for it if I didn't want to allow it so
can I by pass it.
