OneCare affecting Word and PowerPoint? RRS feed

    I installed OneCare a few days ago with printer sharing, and could scarcely use Word (it was so slow) until I discovered that that PS was the problem and disabled it.  Now PowerPoint can't play a movie clip without stuttering and multiple audio drop-outs.  Is this also the fault of OneCare?  Why aren't you telling new customers about these issues before they buy?

    It is likely that there is conflicting software present such as previously installed antivirus, antispyware or firewall software which did not uninstall completely. I suggest contacting support for help. How to reach support - http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/onecareinstallandactivate/thread/30400b52-7f26-4ba0-bc18-17e305329d90

    I'll add to Jim's reply by addressing this part of your post:
    "Why aren't you telling new customers about these issues before they buy?"

    Because what you are experiencing is not expected behavior, nor has it been widely reported. In fact, I don't recall reading of either problem *ever* before in these forums.


    Please do contact OneCare support.
