going to look at a buddies pc tomorrow. he just brought it and cant get verizion online shit to load on it so he can connect to the internet. Anything I need to disable in order to get it to take the software?? He says it will get to like 85 percent then just freeze and he has tried this a few times with the same results. Its also a POS emachines pc if that helps. ---

Get a real internet connection? Or try running the install with admin privlidges, and compatibility enabled. Any idea if verizon supports supports standard dial-up networking? If so try that. ---

Sounds like he might be trying to get it to load a non-Vista version of the software. Maybe there are two??? Just a thought. I’m probably waaaay off. ---
