    From McAfee's site.

    In short you dont take anything you log back on to their web site service and it downloads a file which registers the program.

    Gator,
    Take files off comp - This is the wrong way of going about it.

    All the drivers should be available from the PC manufacture. You should have a OS disk as well. You should reload all the programs for them to work correctly.

    To try to copy files for a complex program is very difficult to to correctly.
