But free is still free ! Coolice came to the right place me thinks .
My apologies to Chewie and The Wiz , didn't mean to sound like such a plick .
Not a problem peat.

I don't know the answer to the problem but my first thought was that malware may be inhibiting the installation. There are plenty of instances of malware fucking around with security software such as firewalls and antiviruses, as well as stopping certain programs from running like hijackthis, adaware, spybot and even notepad.

I don't normally wade in to things like this with alternative software suggestions but since coolice was merely at the installation stage (rather than trying to sort out installed software) I figured that a nudge in a different direction wouldn't be too bad.

Actually, while I'm on this subject... I changed the antivirus my boy's and girls' computers to Kaspersky from Symantec SCSv3.1 - and found a total of 7 trojans.
I won't be recommending SAV to anyone any more.
