Thanks Seth for replying. I realized, in getting SAS Pro to
work, that the problems I had in down-loading and installing
several other programs was due to being listed as Standard
user, instead of Administrator. I just recently switched from
Windows XP to Vista, when the XP computer died. When I started
using XP, all accounts were created Administrator. But with
Vista, any new account is Standard. I never had a problem on
XP, just when installing SAS Pro on Vista. I went to User
Account on Control Panel, changed from Standard to
Administrator, down-loaded and installed SAS Pro, then
switched account back to Standard. This way I can't mess
things up. Then if I want to do something that Vista thinks
is harmful, I would have to switch to Administrator. Just a
few more steps, but it explains some things. By the way,
SAS Pro is working very good, several scans have been done,
and I'm very satisfied. I use SAS Pro, Avast Free 5.0.545,
Outpost Firewall 2009, and everything works smooth together.
Just an update, as using Vista or newer this might be a
thing we don't realize, and save on hair-pulling or using
foul language in front of the grand-kids.
