i bought an Acer AX1700-U3700A today. It has WIN vista home premium 64-Bit edition. started it up, it updated mcafee internet security suite product while i was installing firefox and such. I rebooted, then, uninstalled mcafee. as it finished and asked for a restart to complete, as i did, i noticed it said something about it not being able to remove something. i could not read it before it shutdown. There were no problems on restart. I then attempted to install SEP 11.0.4010.19 (64 bit client). it tells me " Symantec endpoint protection has detected that there are pending system changes that require a reboot. Please reboot the system and rerun the installation." I have done this as well as run MCPR tool, and ran chkdsk all restarting the system each time, all programs run by clicking running as admin. I'm lost. I can normally work thru probs like this, but cant seem to get it this time. What am i missing??
