I successfully downloaded the adware program (aaw6181) from download.com to my desktop. When I click on the icon the installation wizard will not work. In short, I cannot install the program. I'm not a computer whiz, but understand the basics. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks. ------------- J. Natali |

| How do you mean will not work? Do you get any error messages? |

No error messages are shown. When I double click the icon, the installation wizard box will display on the screen for a couple seconds and then disappear. Nothing else happens and my computer returns to the desktop screen. ------------- J. Natali |

check your event logs, make sure you have admin rights to install etc. Close down other apps (including Icons on Tray) ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

I've always used both adaware and spybot. Seems one always catches something the other missed. -------------

Same here dpyers. I ran ad-aware twice yesterday (just to be safe). found over 250 items, deleted them all then ran spybot, found about 4 other things. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">
