I have Windows Vista and I get an error message when I try to install it saying I need Windows XP. It won’t let me install it. I’ve gone to Nortons website and couldn’t find anything to help with this problem. They have virtually no customer support. I’m thinking maybe I should just take the software back and buy something else. Any suggestions?

I have an ATI Mobility x1400 in my Inspiron E1705 from Dell. I have recently reinstalled Windows XP, and my a video I had saved on my Flash Drive now only plays in weird rainbow colors. I installed the drivers for everything from Dell, but it still won’t play right. Can I get new/better drivers, or is my video card messed up?
no…the article doesn’t pertain to me…the name is just an inside joke between my friends and I at my high school…that’s really weird though.
