I gave up. I ran out of time and had to return his computer to him. It just made no sense that there was no way around this. I know there was just some button or some line of SOMETHING that I was missing. I've installed it before and it worked. I ended up buying him Eset for two years because I failed to solve the problem. When we move up there and I have more time to work on it at leisure rather than an hour at a time at night for 4 days on a road trip then I will figure out what I was doing wrong. I have another computer at home that I will install Windows 10 on and work from there. lobo11 - interesting that you are from PC. I'm from PCB.
WoW, that is neat, from the Beach, sorry we could not help with the problem you were having, but things are changing so fast these days it's hard to keep up with it all, the only other thing I can think of in your case, just to know for future reference is to call ESET.
