I seem to be setting off down the same road as you but just a day behind - also trying to get 2005 version up on win 98 SE. My install seems to complete and the following LIve Update runs, but after that I cannot get the NIS to actually run - constant Windows dialogue box informing me that the program has performed an illegal operation (internet access also completely inoperative). I have tracked down a number of knowledgebase articles on Semantec site that may be of relevance to both of us - mainly concerned with conflicting other software (spyware detectors in particular)so it is worth digging around there. Looks like it;s going to be a tricky one to solve, but at least Semantec have a 60 day returns/refund policy to keep in mind (mark you rdiary now !!). I'll post any helpful (perhaps even successful !) actions I take which may help. I'm also tempted (though not wanting to throw good money after bad) to get a copy of Norton Go-Back which is a disk sector level change monitor/log - you can snapshot your machine and recover back to specific points (i.e. before you start installing NIS 2005 again !)
