I just installed Norton SystemWorks 2003 on my PC and I cant get the LiveUpdate utility to install.It says I need to enable LongFilenames. My OS is Win98. The rest of the application installed just fine. Thanks for any help that you could provide.

change your file allocation table [FAT] from 16 to 32. In W9X use the convert utility in system tools. [Start, programs, accessories, system tools, convert FAT32].

if you don't have the convert utility in system tools [you should though] you can try using convert C:/FS:FAT32 from the command prompt [been while since I've had to work on W9X O/S so ... that command prompt syntax is for W2K Pro. someone else might have the command prompt syntax for converting your drive to FAT32 from the command prompt if that doesn't work].
