Re: Guide program will not download in version 2002

Thanks for your reply Doug,

Just to be clear, you know of no other reason than to blame it on symantec
and internet security, that the guide will not work in MCE, and MCE says it
cannot connect to the internet (even though in standard XP it works fine).

I really want this confirmation from you if possible before I go to
symantec. As they will surely blame it on MS.
