Hi I'm new to this type of communication, and I was hoping somebody would beable to help me ASAP!
I have bought Norton Internet Security 2006 (NIS) and have had no luck at installing it. I get a message dialogue box that says, "This product requires Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or greater or a 32-bit version of Windows XP. Setup will exit. For upgrades or service packs, contact Microsoft at: [url="http://www.microsoft.com/windows""]http://www.microsoft.com/windows"[/url] :tazz:

---Does anybody have any ideas of how to configure the setup files so I can install it?
---I used resource hacker and see a GUI product Id, what does that mean and does that have something to do with the prevention of my installation?

Thank you so much!

Sounds like you don't have Vista here, if you don't then your posting in the wrong forum. Paste this in Windows XP.

I'm confused as to what you mean. What is the MS av design? I've never heard of that.
