Thanks for your long note. Did I make it clear enough I was having a problem with Symantec? Sure? LOL Yes I know the difference between compatibility and certification. Norton's antivirus for 98 and w2k is not an issue of certification. It simply will not run. Many companies have created programmes that can run on win 9x and NT. That is what symantec should have done, IMO. Just another opportunity to squeeze the consumer imo. For example, Mccafee virusscan is win9x and w2k compatible, though I am not sure of the earlier history. But to give an example, I have metastock which is win9x and NT compatible and therefore w2k compatible. At some point it must have been a conscious choice on the part of symantec to create another line for NT, a separate line for win 9x. SIGH. Olga
