on the mcafee site buried deep is the info to manually uninstall(too late in the
day for me to search and find it but i do remember its difficult to find)
start by going to mcafee and following those instructions.
what is the error code that leads microsoft to believe its a device driver?

Charles,I dont have the report now.Micro**** says that i have no error reports.It
was there last night.(I should have printed it)I looked up my error logs from this
a.m. and found that True Vector Engine listed under application error and a yellow
warning sign listed MsiInstaller.I am still checking,but I believe that I finally
deleted Mcafee.I found out that no other program depends on mcafee,so it is a safe
delete.I have been checking programs to see if their is a way of narrowing this down
before I go to system configuration and that process.(I am new to this and I dont
want to get in over my head)This is always an error at startup,I have recovered from
2 online crashes.It happens after clicking on IE.Or if I click the red x on the error
box/small window.I followed the error report last night and they gave device driver
message with advice about 3 possible causes.I still wonder about the mcafee thing
cuz thats when this all started.I will continue to look at history etc.. to see if
I can find that error report.Thanx,Jim P
