There are worse things to extract from one's orifices that would hurt more
than an Adobe number. Like........a Symantec number! ;-)

The past few years I've become terribly disappointed (I'm being gentle) with
all the Symantec/Norton products I had on my machines and have removed (with
great difficulty and consternation and cursing) them from all machines I
own...and they all run much mo' betta now. I'm still looking for a suitable
replacement for WinFax Pro.

Mary, your telephone number worked OK but microsoft USA could not verify the
activation of a UK version of a product. They advised me to contact microsoft
UK, which I did but still had problems over the number of digits in the ID
number.

Eventually put through to the technical people who eventually phoned back
and after 20 minutes of deleting files and editing the registry still could
not solve the problem with publisher. They said further research was
necessary and the would phone back tomorrow - noe today.

Unfortunately they left me with my antivirus and internet security not
working and though I could read messages I could not post a reply! I have now
restored my system to before the engineer did his work but still have the
problem with publisher. I await his return call.

I have run the Installer Cleanup Utility but still no good. I have also lost
the pre-fetch version of the file verclsid.

I will keepyou up to date when I have more news.

I note posts indicating disappointment with Symantec products. Should I go
back to AVG?

I have been using Norton from day one, never had a problem. Wait for your
answers from the tech guys.

Mary, your telephone number worked OK but microsoft USA could not verify the
activation of a UK version of a product. They advised me to contact microsoft
UK, which I did but still had problems over the number of digits in the ID
number.

Eventually put through to the technical people who eventually phoned back
and after 20 minutes of deleting files and editing the registry still could
not solve the problem with publisher. They said further research was
necessary and the would phone back tomorrow - noe today.

Unfortunately they left me with my antivirus and internet security not
working and though I could read messages I could not post a reply! I have now
restored my system to before the engineer did his work but still have the
problem with publisher. I await his return call.

I have run the Installer Cleanup Utility but still no good. I have also lost
the pre-fetch version of the file verclsid.

I will keepyou up to date when I have more news.

I note posts indicating disappointment with Symantec products. Should I go
back to AVG?

Thanks, but I'm really looking for a regular fax program not an online
service. I'm currently testing HotFax, which seems ok, but it doesn't knock
my sox off.
