I am also having problems installing anything. Only program I have managed t
download and install is Yahoo Messenger. Unable to complete Norton Live
Updates, cannot install Windows Live Messenger or Fix program for Norton Live
Update. I get message saying "not a valid Win32 application" or something
similar. Have ou had any answers?
