Moon, is your laptop an acer one by any chance?

Re: DEP prob
 

It is indeed! :D

Re: DEP prob
 

You need a patch, the problem is with a program called 'EDataSecurity'.

The problem occurs when using MSN 8.1 with EDataSecurity on. The patch is at ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/noteboo...handreadme.zip the instructions and patch are located inside the zip file.

Let us know how you go on!
