Hi Haystack,

Spoke too soon. McAfee Add-On site adviser started to cause same problem as before, even with the new download as advised by McAfee. Will now get rid of McAfee completely and try AVG.
Totally fed up with McAfee as their virtual technician is no help and if you contact customer services they say you must contact the tech dept.
But thanks for trying to assist.
Internet Explorer, Vista and McAfee what a useless combination.

Haystack

...thanks so much...have disabled a few things I know I dont need
although not done a restart yet lol...

No suggestions about my AVG 7.5 so I have uninstalled it.

What was odd about the installation was that it told me that I had a faulty version of Roxy Easy CD & DVD Creator installed and directed me to
http://www.roxio.com/enu/support/mserr/cdr4_7.html

Click on the link and you are offered a downloadable .exe

As I have no Roxy - and nothing similar as my CD Rom is read only - I decided to progress with the installation without executing that .exe

And ended up with a PC that did not let me load a printer driver.

Not a good start. But I have mailed Grisoft for help and we'll see what they say.

What a waste of a start of a day - but that's computers for you..........

TP

my protection is Kaspersky which works ok on other site but here is so slow for level 2 that it is useless. I have made some changes but obviously not the correct ones , has any one any ideas please?

scussy or opt,

I decided to go for AVG 7.5

Installed, but now says I don't have enough resources for my printer.

Off to an appt now so run out of fiddling time.

Any suggestions as to what to do - other than buy more memory for my PC!!.


TP, how much memory have you got? The AVG 7.5 only uses 17.58 MB

Opt,

Memory. One gig.

If you look at my msg 5762 I guess you'll conclude it was a mis-install.

However, I am reluctant to try it again until AVG tell me about Roxy (isn't she a dame in Chicago?).

I could try the AVG free light, but having bought the three computer 7.5 licence it seems better to wait for them to reply.

TP

TP. I missed your post 5762, did cross my mind about being a mis-install.
As you have bought AVG I don't think you will have long to wait for their response.
Are you running fully protected? if not pop the free one on.

Thanks Opt,

I've FProt, which my IT chappie likes, and the old version of PC-Cillin that preceeded the errant 2007 version.

What adds to my feeling that it was a mis-install is the fact that it produced between 15 and 20 new HijackThis entries.

TP

TP, Don't know I've been any help really as you are not much further on.
I being the impulsive type would be trying another download, but that's me LOL.
Going out for an hour, hope it's all sorted soon.
opto

Opto,

That's a good idea. It may be the original download that is duff. It's quite a large file so I'll pull it down again in anticipation of contact from AVG.

I'm inclined not to bother to try to install it until they tell me what part Roxy plays in my life! I always worry about installing and removing software and the danger of the malfunctioning version leaving some debris behind.

Anyway I can survive with what I've got if I ignore the nags from PC-Cillin about my failure to have the right serial numbers.

I have a Netgear DG834PN Router ADSL Modem, I never got it connected to my Pipex ADSL modem, I am now connected to Virgin Media via a Cable modem how do I now connect the Netgear router to the Cable Modem or do I need to buy something else if so what do you suggest for wireless connect in the house ;-)

Rich, we have pretty much the same setup at work (Netgear and Virgin cable modem). The only problem is you have a router modem and a modem and are trying to connect both. I think (and I'm prepared to be corrected) that you need a router without a modem to attach to your Virgin cable modem. I have a couple of spare routers but they don't have wireless - let me know if you could use one.

Seymour, thanks for the info, if I cant find a wireless router, I'll keep your offer in mind regarding the spare routers ;-)

The Netgear DG834PN Router ADSL Modem is a wireless router modem. You just need to connect it by itself.

rich,
i think you will need a CABLE router,pipex is ADSL,
if you can use a router and ethernet,you will not loose bandwidth,
i have just run a ethernet cable from my router to downstairs lounge,
i too have NTL now VIRGIn 20 meg,with the PC's next to my router i get 19 meg all the time,with my lappy on wireless i get about 10 meg,so using ethernet cable from router should be much better,just need to get my techy guy to connect up,

scussy

Virgin / NTL say you must only use their modem so you then need to connect this into a router.

scussy, Haystack and Seymore thanks ;-)

We unplugged the Virgin Cablemodem and tried plugging the connections from that into the Netgear DGG834PN but they wouldnt fit, wrong type of connections, :-( So I must need a different Wireless Router for a Cable modem any recommendations??

reviewNetgear WPN824 router is what iam using,
try here http://www.microdirect.co.uk/
make sure the router is for CABLE and not adsl when u buy

http://www.netgear.co.uk

Scussy, thanks

Is there any difference between Netgear WPN824 and Netgear WPN824UK and are they both 108mbs

just dug my box out,i cannot see anything about the UK one on the box,sorry,
here is some customer views on the NETGEAR wpn824 UK
what it does say is, to get the max performance ues with a rangemax wirless adapter,which i dont,thats why i only get the 54 mbs and maybe the loss of download speed, you can see the adapter here
so it looks ok but you might need to get the USB adapter for the best results,
