I was just discovering that the latest version of AdAware won't work with ME as you
were posting here. I also just became aware that the income tax program I've used
for years won't run on ME either. Thanks for the reply and suggestions though, it
was (and is) an annoyance so I thought I'd give it a try. I am disappointed with
the computer/internet business in general though, ME cost me a lot when I bought
it and that's a pretty short shelf life in my opinion.
