That didn't work for me, Tom. The message is Vista's way of
"protecting
me from myself." I've been using computers for years, and I resent the
hassle I've had with this new computer. I bought it only because my
11yo
XP Home machine had been failing for a year. Luckily it lasted til I
got
my tax incentive from the govt. so I could afford a new, cheap
machine.
If I had had the money, I would have had one built so I could have XP
on
it. I just found out a week ago that my scanner isn't supported. (I
only
use it occasionally so now I'll just have to do without.)

One of the things I resent, too, is that I have to go through so many
"Are you sure?" dialog boxes just to do the simplest things on this
computer.

Thanks for the help from a fellow genealogy researcher.

P.S. I had an HP Pavilion before and bought another one after watching
ads for a year til I found one I could afford. Then I found out
there's
no tech support (except maybe by email), no disks (for example, the HP
Help tells me to see the manual for my monitor, but there is no manual
for the monitor--only basic PDF manuals for the computer)....

Sorry to hear it, perhaps combining Peter F's advice and trusting
Ancestry might get you there.
BTW, to me what is seen as 'are you sure' is usually best interpreted
as 'is that really you'. 'If you started this' could have better been
expressed as 'if it was you that started this' meaning not something
nasty trying it.

My wife is the researcher, I provide the computing infrastructure :-)

Regards
Tom
