I have Millennium on my PC, which is a huge pain in the ass. Anyways, I bought a copy of Norton Antivirus to put on my laptop (which installed without issue) and I figured I'd put a copy on my PC. However, when I go to install the software, it says I need a copy of Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or higher. Even though I have Millennium, I figured I'd give it a shot and try to download it, but it didn't work. Is there any way to get around this requirement so I can install my antivirus software?

Because it came like that when I bought it, before it was the general consensus that Millennium sucked.

you have to upgrade to 2000/xp. Microsoft no longer supports Windows 9x/Millenium and neither does nearly any company.

Windows ME should never be used on a computer.

If it is used (for some reason) that PC should not be connected to the internet ever.

Haha yeah, I figured as much. Thanks.

Hmmm I just checked out the Microsoft homepage. I think I'm eligible for a free XP upgrade.

^ har that person got you good. 10 bux!!! me almost made my laptop blow up

^ heh, my computer that had ME on it could never shut down correctly, unless the NIC was physically removed. it was fucking odd.

Even Microsoft has admitted that Me blows hard.

if you can get xp for free, go for that, because compared to that piece of shit OS, XP is perfection.

i'm the only person that had good luck with ME

XP is better for sure, but ME never did anything too bad

^ fin: actually, you must be the second person then b/c i never had any problems either. it ran better than 98 did honestly. all my friends had issues with it but i never did. every computer seems to have a mind of its own so im not suprised at all.
