McAfee Total Protection 2010......help!

[Calvados]

I've installed this on my pc, no problem. Working fine. I installed it on my younger daughters' pc. Same again, no problem. As it allows you to use it on 3 computers, I tried to install it on my elder daughters' laptop. Bad idea, it seems. On previous installations I had the usual instal panels to follow without any problems. On the laptop, all I get is advice and options about auto play for games and downloading music. No installation panels for the Total Protection. Is this not compatible with laptops or am I omitting something? TIA.

Do you have any other AV software installed on laptop?
I assume this as a disc .. not a download, then?
Is the installer running? This would be a "choice" panel opening.
If you put the disk in and close any panel that opens, then run Explorer and browse to that inserted disc .. in the top level folder is a file autorun.exe Double-click that ...
What you get then?

Thanks Al. I'll try that but it will have to be tomorrow now. I'll get back to you. Thanks again.

Another thing is ... are you logged in as an administrator? That might lock you down too!

i dont like McAfee, they automatically renew your subscription without any notice. one time they took £60 out of my account for renewal, but on the website it was on offer £40, i made a complaint, they refunded me and i uninstalled the software and i am now with AVG
