It probly will sound dumb to you, but try "Right-Click", "Run as Adminastrator."

If hat does not work, then im ot sure.
Sorry for sucky response.

Lol...no not at all dumb...took me ages to work out how to use command prompt to see how fragmented my drive was...most of the easy access options i take for granted with XP have disappeared in Vista...needing to learn all over again.

Whre the heck did My Docs go!!!! was the first shock...ok found things now but what a palaver

It's the MS website page that gives me that message and won't let me go any further...bit stuck on this...all i've done lately is read tuts...can't find an option to get around it.

So anyone know how i get around this website error?

Cheers

Oh and i've already tried these fixes from MS website
