I recently updated to Windows 2000, but I'm having problems re-installing Symantec Norton SystemWorks software. During Windows 2000 installation, I selected the "New installation" instead of "Upgrade from Windows 98" hopping to avoid problems.
However, when I try to install Norton SystemWorks, I get the message "Must be run in Windows 95 or 98".
I checked both Microsoft and Symantec's website and they both say that it should have no problems. Any sugestions?

Windows 2000 doesn't need anything like Norton system works in the first place.

But if you choose to install it anyway(I don't recommend it!!!) You need to get the updated version.
