Was your Norton specifically for 95/98 or did it say 9x ?

Hi Rick,
The NAV I was using was labelled Win95/NT. I was using Win95 when I bought
it. There were several upgrades to NAV 4 to make it compatible with Win98.
When I upgraded from Win95 to WinME, I was more ignorant of WinME than I am
now, and I thought the NAV would just "keep on working". It was still
detecting and removing virii, just like it always did. But I never could get
WinME to work just right. It always had a stutututututter in the sou sou
sound. I rebuilt the machine a number of times trying to fix it and no matter
what I did I couldn't get it to work right.
One day 18 months ago, I just happened to stop NAV from loading at startup
and blow down if the machine didn't perform like it never had before! The
startup sound played without the usual stutututter, and any app I opened
worked very fast. I removed the NAV4 and loaded an OEM NIS2002 that came with
my motherboard. The sound then worked OK, but the whole machine ran like
treakle uphill on a cold day.
I removed the NIS 2002 and bought NIS 2004. It wouldn't run at all, so I
returned it for a refund, and loaded AVG Free and Zone Alarm, and I've been
flying ever since.
So, no, NAV4 was never claimed to be WinME compatible, that was my incorrect
assumption.
NIS 2002 WAS claimed to be compatible with WinME, but it wasn't, NIS 2004
WAS claimed to be compatible with WinME, but it wasn't either.

Good luck,
