i'm having some script errors and general daftness with clicking links not working, though the computer clicks!!

i'm running XP home 2002 service pack 1 and have intalled the latest script stuff from MS, internet is IEv6 sp1.

my main gripe is McAfee internet security suite, i just can't register... each time I get to submit i get a script error along the lines of permission denied::'windows.location.replace' in the mcafee registering program,

are there secret permissions i should set that i don't know about, is MS holding me back, i've reinstalled mcafee/windows/IE/script and anything else relevant.

just a tad vexing, i'm registered at mcafee, they have my details, i can use the chat help desk, and e:mail them, hell i can even use the phone, but the help desk, whilst polite and knowlagable about all superfluous computery things, but then so am i when it comes down to it - I don't have 5/6 hours to fiddle under the bonnet, I could stick linux on it in that time...

Cheers! Scruff.

Ah, the joys of service pack two.

Seemed to clear up the McAfee problem - at the expense of massive memory leaks and some other programs hanging indiscriminately

Still, got all my important stuff on a linux server...
