For the past month I have been unable to download Norton Anti Virus Updates and many other online files and must use MS IE instead.

I use OS Win 98 SE and Netscape 7.02 Streamline or Stand Alone. I have removed and re-installed both of these many times but the problem still exists. I am quite satisfied with 98 SE and have always used Netscape as my browser. I do not have any virus as I check frequently. This problem occurs on 3 computers that are not networked. I downloaded and installed all the updates to 98 SE before MS stopped supporting it. Should I remove my Netscape 7.02 and install the full version of Netscape 7.01? I never make Netscape as my default browser so I can use MS IE.

Help! I absolutely refuse to use MS IE except in dire necessity!!

Thanks-Kristel

Reinstalling will do nothing, and taking one step back to 7.01 will do even less. I am not familiar with the requirements of Norton to download updates, and I would be tempted to say that 7.1 could do the job, because it has an ActiveX plugin, but I have seen your problem mentioned enough times that I will send you in another direction. But I am not even sure about this, since I have seen it as a 7.1 problem. Anyway... http://home.att.net/~cherokee67/ns71cantdownload.html
