A little technical question( A request for help peeps)

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I know there are some far more technically minded peeps here than me so I'd like to ask a lttle question/opinion.
I've just gone from Norton Antivirus 2003 to 2004(OEM version not the bog standard home users version, courtesy of a rubbish software company) and I've had a right performance to install and get it running right. I'm on Windows XP Home Edition.
Anyone else had any problems and any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers!

I recently got my Mum a very good Dell on that. She's not talking to me any more. :cry:

OEM is designed for shipping with hardware only.. so maybe its been designed to work only on a specific hardware. or maybe you need to use liveupdate to update it..

hope that helps..
