Upgraded from W 98 SE Jan 03. 384 Ram, 800 mhz AMD
processor and plenty of drive space available. Added
Norton Internet Security (NIS)and firewall 9/03. XP
updates worked OK prior. Currently up to date I think but
now MS tells me "you must be running a windows operating
system to use update". I think I set somethng wrong in
NIS dealing with blocked "referer" information; but can't
realize where I did this. Not able to find a helpful
reference in NIS or XP online or program help. Help please?
