I just got a new subscription and installed McAfee just fine on my two Windows Vista machines but when i try to install it on this Window XP machine I get a pop up telling me there was an error and that McAfee will try to fix it but then it basically just keeps repeating that. I did notice when using IE (I normally use firefox) the McAfee site doesn't load all of the download page correctly so i was thinking there was something related but I'm unable to pin point it.
Any help would be great. On a side note I did have McAfee installed on this machine previously had had no issues, the issues just came up when trying to install it now.
