Well, In the ongoing saga of my inability to run the defrag (it won't EVER finish anymore - keeps hanging up and starting over saying the data on the disk has changed - I left it for twelve hours last time and even that was not enough!) I decided to get Norton System Works and use the Norton Utilities defragger. So tonight I am trying to install that, and it won't do it. I keep getting a message that says it needs IE 5.0 or higher in order for the one-button checkup to work. I have IE 4.0 (I rarely use IE except for looking at my web pages to be sure they view okay for people who use IE).
I thought this just meant that one feature (the one-button) wouldn't work, but no, I keep getting a message that the installation was not successful and I should try again. I have tried three times (restarted computer between each time) with same results. And I checked and there appears to be nothing installed. I went online and tried to download IE 5.5, but I kept getting messages that the scripts were not running properly and it would not download. I hesitate to go for IE 6, since already IE 5 is huge and also (I have it at work) seems to update Outlook Express at the same time and the newer versions of Outlook Express will not share address books with Outlook - which I currently need them to do. Just in case it matters, I am running Windows 98. I have over 100 MB of ram, and a 4 gig hard drive. The computer is three and a half years old (dinosaur, eh?). I shut down all programs - including the Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar - before running the Norton disk. It wanted me to uninstall any Virus programs before installing, so I have uninstalled Norton Anti-Virus 2001 - so in addition to the problems I was hoping the System Works would address, I'm eager to get this taken care of so I can get the Virus program protection on again. Any suggestions?
