Napster 2.0 and XP Applications

[Brian]

Hello,

This is a "warning" to Windows XP users who have any Norton 2004 product and
install Napster 2.0

Napster 2.0 will cause any Norton 2004 product that has "activation" to
deactivate and you pretty much have to reload Windows XP from scratch if
system restore does not help. I spent an hour on the phone with Symantec
last night and they are working on the issue. It has something to do with
Napster (even know they deny it) installing a type of driver for a USB
storage device and causes Nortons "anti-piracy" activation to think you have
new hardware but it will not reactivate no matter what you try.

Seems to only affect Windows XP users right now.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of companies.
