    Try disableing MaCafee real time protection long enough to see if you can create folders.

    Hello PAUL,

    As far as McAfee is concerned, have you tried contacting them? If you get the run around, ie, contact Dell, I would uninstall McAfee, test whether your problem goes away minus McAfee.

    EDIT, I see Steve has the same idea - try disabling McAfee first.

    Regards - Charles

    You would have to disable using something like MSCONFIG. The normal "disable" option is likely not sufficient to test.

    From what I remember in purging McAfee off of systems - it won't allow itself to be disabled - certainly not thru msconfig, there are multiple processes to identify and stop. I think in the end, it has to be uninstalled.

    You can try something stronger than msconfig: autoruns http://www.sysinternals.com/SystemInformationUtilities.html

    Charles,

    Thanks, I know little about the program other than any 'Disable' function is unlikely to make the poster happy.

    I have often recommended this link for McAfee uninstall and cleanup: http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=71943

    Regards.
