i just installed mcafee virus scan 7.1 on an xp pro sp1 machine using
an account that is in the local admins group. it installedfine, but
it will not let me alter or add jobs thru the console. i can't change
the autoupdate or scan all tasks and i can't add others, everything in
the tasks are greyed out. they work, but i would like to change some
settings. i've never seen this before. sugggestions would be
appreciated. thanks. |

Maybe you locked it down during the install?
From the Console: Tools, Unlock User Console (You might need to
remember a password you set up)
Or check Tools, User Interface Options, Password Options to see what
settings are there. |

it's not locked down. i set it up without a password and i believe
the lock would keep me out of the console altogether. thanks.

i found it in the install manual. the registry keys it is using are
protected. i have to change the perms and then the config becomes
available.
