PGP 9.91 fully updated
Vista POS Home Version Dell Inspirion

I activate desktop
I go out to create virtual disk menu
I create virtual disk with fat32 or NTFS
I put in my email address
I use my admin password since I am the only one that is suppose to use
this computer.
It goes out and creates the virtual disk.
It shows it mounted.
I unmount it and try remounting it and "No Password."

It just open like you had a regular folder. No security at all

I used PGP since the 8088/Dos days. I never had a problem before.
Email works ok

I Assuming
1. I doing something stupid
2. PGP is corrupted and I need to be uninstall and reinstall.
3. Vista POS struck again

Thanks for help or advice in advance. I check PGP and could find any
bug reports.
