Hi,
I tried that, it seemed like a good idea, but it did not help.
There were two things in security, one was to allow apps and I checked that
one, and the other was under administrator, and I allowed all the things to
run, like erase device and all that type of stuff.
But none of that helped.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
I don't know what that error code means and googling doesn't yield
anything useful, but do you have your device set to install third party
apps? It should be under settings and security. If that's not the
issue, then I'm stumped.
