For one thing, since I bought the computer direct from Dell's web site, it
would have been nice if Dell emailed me to inform me of this problem- seeing
that its Dell's fault that the file is missing. A naive user might never
find the solution.
I'm pretty good at cutting my losses now and contacting product
support and searching for things like updated drivers on the web. A
long time go ago I spent about 3 days pulling my hair out only to find
that I could have spent 3 years on it because it would never have
worked without an updated driver.
Another thing- when the McAfee trial period is up, will McAfee offer me to
pay for their program, and if so, what will they charge? I just "purchased"
the program from Staples with a double rebate so that it will be free when I
get the rebates - but when I got to my office I see on the box that it's not
ready for Vista and that I'll have to download something first- SHEESH! Good
thing I saw that small print on the box.

The problem with registering might be good because it could be a
preview of the lack of quality of McAfee products. I had a free full
version but it didn't take long until I uninstalled it in favor of the
free AVG Anti-Virus, Zone Alarm, and Spybot.
For now though Zone Alarm isn't yet available for Vista.
