Click the Security tab.

Make sure the check box next to Enable Protected Mode is NOT checked.


Click OK.

Close Internet Explorer.

Navigate to Start > All Programs.


Right-Click on the Internet Explorer menu item.


Select Run as Administrator.


When the User Account Control window is displayed, click ALLOW.


Logon to CareLink Personal.


Upload your device(s). Click here for upload instructions.


Once you have successfully uploaded a device, reset the Internet Explorer security settings:

From Internet Explorer, navigate to Tools > Internet Options.

Click the Security tab.

Check the box next to Enable Protected Mode.

Click OK

Close Internet Explorer.

This is exactly what I did and I am having GREAT success with carelink under vista, infact, all works as it should. my Ultralink uploads BGs to my pump, my pump uploads it's data to my PC via the carelink USB device and onto the carelink website where I generate the reports that my Endo LOVES!

So, MiniMed pump users, please read the above that our fellow pumper so generously provided, follow these simple steps and vanquish your frustrations, success is only a few mouse clicks and keystrokes away!
