Fwd: McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 Vista?
Update to WAMUG for anyone who finds themselves with this same problem. First I tried to install by downloading the Vista Compatible version directly from the website, inserted my Retail CD in the CD drive before installation as per instructions. But, the 'sticker_update_1.2.exe' would not recognise the CD was in the drive and therefore no installation. So I then went to https://ca.mcafee.com/root/login.asp logged into My Account (which had been created when I initially installed McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 in WindowsXP). Downloaded the file from there (then turned off Windows Firewall) and installed McAfee without any troubles. So now Windows Vista VM in Parallels is 'Safe' I hope!

Hi again Adam WAMUGers, Well, I'm confused now. Some sites are saying McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 IS compatible with Vista, but my Vista Ultimate is saying 'It is not Compatible'? http://internet-security-suite-review.toptenreviews.com/ But now I have found this: http://ca.mcafee.com/vista/ If purchased from retail, you can download the Vista compatible version directly from this website by clicking here. You must have retail CD in the PC´s CD drive before installation starts. Be sure to keep your McAfee product CD that was included in the box. You will need this CD for authentication to add the Vista- compatible upgrade. If user already has XP installed, it will be downloaded and installed via automatic upgrade. When you upgrade your operating system to Vista, McAfee software will automatically upgrade and work – seamlessly for you. Well, we shall see?

I have tried a few of them and they are either not compatible at all or they are so buggy that it makes them useless. One thing to make sure of is that you disabled the windows firewall before you installed it as it may be that it is clashing (and I know for a fact that a majority of them do *not* disable the Windows Firewall during installation).

Hi WAMUGers, I have the latest Parallels v3-5160 and had WindowsXP running with McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 installed, perfectly. I then decided to erase WindowsXP VM and install Windows Vista Ultimate in Parallels yep, everything went well and Vista was working. It is slower than WindowsXP and is heavy on CPU and my MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz / 3GB/ 800MHz/ 160GB HD) runs hotter. I then tried to install McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 in Vista . oh dear not a good idea. It seemed to complete it's installation and then Vista asks to be restarted, which I did . then all Hell broke loose, Vista blocks some startup items and then says it has a 'Critical Error' and will shutdown. But, It won't shutdown, it won't do anything I had to just Quit Parallels. I downloaded McAfee Removal tool, but Vista would not stay working for me to uninstall McAfee. I eventually managed to start Vista Ultimate in Safe Mode was able to uninstall McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007. Have you heard of anyone that has been able to install run McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 in Vista? I understood it was compatible with Vista .. On the box I notice it does not mention Vista ;-( I've searched and searched the Internet McAfee's support for an answer, to no avail. I think there must be an update for Vista, but I'm damned if I can locate one. Failing this, I guess I will have to install the 'Kaspersky Internet security' that Parallels has under its 'Actions' menu. This of course will cost me more dollars! Or else re-install WindowsXP in Parallels. Thanks for any information regarding this, I will appreciate it as always. Cheers, Ronni who is focused on my

Nice thought Matt - I would be worried however that Oz being such a small market all they might just postpone the launch while they worked out how to stitch up the right sort of deal - remember how long we had to wait for the Oz Itunes Store while the rest of the world merrily bought music :( Hopefully not!

Re: Why I won't be buying any more iPods
Hi everyone, Thanks Matt for pointing out this Web address. After reading the article my worst fears were confirmed. It's been some time now that I have been observing the way Apple was going about its business. And yes, it does appear to me that they are emulating M$ by slowly strangulating 3rd party manufacturers/software producers. I have a suggestion for Apple: Use a boa constrictor symbol for their next version of the Mac OS instead of the usual feline characters. That would seem more appropriate. Maybe they are becoming a bit too successful, and hence the 'cocky' attitude? I intend purchasing a lap-top sometimes in late November, and my initial thought was for a MacBook, of course, but little by little my allegiance to Apple is being fritted-away. First was the purchase of a third-party mouse which is more reliable that the mighty-mouse I purchased less that 1 year ago and used for less than 3 months. That was the first time ever I purchased a non-Apple device when there is availabe an Apple one! And now comes my questioning of the lap-top brand Just hoping I do not fall on the dark side - may the force be with me!! Have a nice week-end all! Philippe C. Peter H., I have not forgotten you and will respond privately once I have determined what exactly I can do. Whatever it is will be on a totally voluntary basis though. on 21/9/07 7:26 PM, Matthew Healey at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/customers-ask-is- apple-going-rotten/ The short version, is that Apple purposefully broke a LOT of third party accessories so as to force users to purchase Apple branded replacements.

Re: Why I won't be buying any more iPods
It's a shame to learn Apple have taken things a step further. I know it was absolute hell trying to get them to take responsibility for a design flaw (which frequently resulted in computer freezes) in the G5 1.8. Rather than admitting the problem with all models of that computer using the upgraded ATI card built to order they turned customers away for half a year till they admitted to the problem and then took a long time to build a solution. This time I really feel they have crossed the line. It's a shame to learn this after just buying a new classic ipod. If they won't back off then I'll wait till my warranty runs out before I hack my ipod to run 3rd party addons.

Hi all, As I haven't spent any money on the products in question and I don't get excited over games and ringtones, I guess I'm not too qualified to say a lot. Of course I wont let that stop me! ;-) Am I wrong or are _some_ of the complaints a bit like complaining that new iPods do not have SCSI connectors on them or MacBooks can't connect to BNC network cables and whats with the lack of a floppy drive? Backwards compatibility is *nice* but it is new features we buy for is it not? While reading comments on that page I found it slightly amusing how angered/disillusioned folk say things like 'I wont be buying any more Apple products' they then go on to say something like 'till they change them more to my liking'. Hardly seems like news of defectors. Just like there weren't many defectors to Soviet Russia as it did not make for much of an alternative. I can see the headline now: 'Zune, Zen and Walkman sales expected to increase by dozens worldwide!'

That's not really the case here... Basically Apple removed functionality from the new iPods that doesn't improve the product in any way. They are simply sticking a toll-booth on the highway so they can collect a tax. They are not improving the road in any way. Also, the Made For iPod sticker is now worthless because Apple broke the spec.

Hi Matt, I guess what I'm suggesting is a question; do the old features cause issues with new designs? Could they hold development back? That is the usual argument against backwards compatibility anyway. I know there is more to this than just backwards compatibility but it does seem to be the bulk of the issue. Take the iPod games for instance. Could it be like the situation we had with OS 9 vs OS X versions of software? As not all the first OS X versions of software were an improvement over the last OS 9 versions, many were identical in function and some even had *less*. However subsequent OS X versions of those software were usually improvements. All this coming from a 'late adopter' like myself seems too much like hypocrisy so I think I'll get out of the kitchen, till later ;-) Cheers Paul -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
