Thanks for the reply, but I didn't really see anything on that link about
uninstall. Just the usual McAfee unintelligible gobbledegook, far as I can
tell.

First, make sure that your anti virus software isn't locking the registry
and preventing the installer from modifying the same.

Thanks very much for the reply. Actually, resetting the permissions in the kb/949377 did work. I took a really long time for it to do "cleanup" after installing (I thought it hung) but finally, I got the "success" screen. Thanks again for your suggestion.

By the way. I got this laptop from my son and he used it in College so they
put the McAfee VirusScan Enterprise on it. It's a few years old and I think
it still gets some updates but they may be limited since he's no longer at
that school. It interferes with everything and I cannot figure out how it
works or how to disable it. I have been to their website, I have gone into
msconfig/startup and turned everyt thing off, I have turned off every service
can find for it, and still it blocks everything. I am hesitant to uninstall
it because it may have some usefulness but it may be a bigger pain than it's
worth and I concerned about how big of a mess it will make to uninstall it
(like Norton). Do you think it will try to reclaim it's previous registry
modifications? Do you think I should just uninstall it?
Thanks again and any info is appreciated.
