Re: Parental Controls

I have the same problem, Fanny, and I am feeling your frustration, too. I
have tried the fixes listed by Malke and Pete and still have no go.
Actually, it is funny b/c it is with the same family feud 2 game. It is not
a Norton block message, it is from the Vista parental controls. I am the
only user on this computer.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO TURN OFF PARENTAL CONTROLS COMPLETELY? Seems like
it is a gross programming oversight if you cannot.
