Hi there Aida It's been some time since you posted here. Thanks for the info, and, BTW, thanks to all of you in this forum that replied. I followed Stephen Russels suggestion, to create an administrator account and it worked. I still do not like the way W7 wants to force me to do certain things. After all, I invested good money in antivirus and other protection software and consider myself knowledgeable enough as to not do stupid things when I try to install software, delete files, download attachments and other tasks. I guess I will have to live with that, or wait for Windows nth..
Hey, have you guys watched AVATAR? Fantastic movie, but I would love to see those computers some day in my lifetime!!
