mcafee virus scan 7.1

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.
