I am trying to get ProComm Plus v5 to work on a WinXP machine, SP1. I am now getting error that software is damaged and necessary files are missing. I receive the message when trying to reinstall, deinstall run live udpate, etc. I found nothing helpful on Symantecs website. Any helpful hints?

Where did you get ProComm Plus v5? Symantec which owns Procomm has not released an update to this program since 1999 when they released v4.8 for Windows 2000 compatability. Version 4.8 will run on XP SP1 or 2 with a couple of bugs you can read about at Symantec's support site using the link at the bottom (be sure to copy the entire link, the text is wrapped). Any older version will not work on XP regardless of SP level.
