111378	2003-01-06 03:41:00	I have a problem which I haven't struck before. I tried to instal a programme called "Paltalk" I downloaded it to "My Download Files" and then as usual I went to Add/Remove and browsed to "C:\My Download Files\pal_install.exe but it comes up "Access to the specified device, path or file is denied" Can someone enlighten me as to what is going on please?

I should add to that, it probably isn't why you can't run it, but you should be aware of what you are agreeing to when you download and install such programs.	honeylaser (814)
111383	2003-01-06 04:53:00	Thanks Billy T and others, I will try as suggested. I don't know what I would do without the help of you Guys/Girls on F1	Pato (2463)
111384	2003-01-06 22:37:00	Honeylaser, Many thanks for that link which I have read with interest. I was not aware that Paltalk would be so instrusive and have decided to give it a miss.	Pato (2463)
