| 167545 | 2003-08-13 23:22:00 | Hey everyone! I have just bought a brand new sparkly dell computer and its great (despite getting that bloody virus immediately when set up-I thought the operating system had not been installed properly and reinstalled it grrr) anyway I have a copy of 2001 Nortons systemworks that I purchased (and never used on my old computer) Will it work on XP-I really doubt it will but would like this confirmed by a techie. Thanks all :O) | charmed (1903) | ||

| 167547 | 2003-08-14 01:32:00 | You can always try it & see if it works, there is no harm trying :) | stu140103 (137) | ||
| 167548 | 2003-08-14 02:03:00 | I wouldn't try it as 2001 or was it 2002 had some messing about to get that to work on XP, I'd call Symantec and ask about their upgrade deals. I can't remember the exact problem but I knew it required disabling a few hardware and services until they released a patch for it. Who knows, install it, update it and it may work. |

| 167549 | 2003-08-14 06:11:00 | Hi Charmed If I remember correctly, you need to log on to Symantec website to download a patch that will allow winxp to run older Systemworks. I think you can do a search on "Windows XP problems" and that could show what is needed to run with winxp. Cheers Gary |

| 167550 | 2003-08-21 11:10:00 | anyway, if you do get systemworks running on XP - DONT use the norton windoctor - it wrecks your system sounds - well it did it to me anyway. just a helpful bit of advice incase that happens to you - youll know what did it. | agent_24 (4330) | ||
