I note all you say, including about Windows firewall, but as I am behind a router, that's not relevant. I can no longer get Sygate to install. Every download I have wants to behave like an uninstall. It's not strange to me because I had it happen before. I did a system restore back a couple of days and although Sygate is in Add/Remove programs, it is not appearing, nor can it be resurrected from Start/Programs. You don't really think I would not have thought of all that do you Rupert? ;-)
