Open Windows Live OneCare. At the top of the main window will be a banner explaining what action to take. After installating, there are typically two actions you need to perform. 1. Configure your network connection to be Home/Work or Public. If your PC is directly connected to the Internet via a dial-up modem, select Public. If you are connected through a router to a DSL/Cable modem, select Home/Work. 2. Configure backup. You can follow the wizard to do so, or you can disable backup for that PC. There may be other actions in the message. -steveMicrosoft MVP Windows Live / Windows Live OneCare & Live Mesh Forum Moderator
