why is this ??

[skywalker[TSG]]

today i went out and got me Norton utilz 2000

i thought that because it said 2000 in the title it would work under Win2k

but it did not

darn u norton darn u http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

34.99 down the drain http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

lol It was because this was the version for the year 2000...I don't know whether to laugh or cry http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif. Take it back as I am sure if you explain the situation they will exchange it or give you a refund.

[Mntsnow]

They will do that as long as you didn't open it.... Next time make sure you read the side of the box and that one it's printed right on the front as to which OS it supports http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[skywalker[TSG]]

well its opened http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

i had to open it in order to install the darn software

i hate stupid missleading names http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

I'm with mntsnow, ya gotta read the side if the box!

[brandon184]

You don't the read System Requirements on the side of the box, before you install it?

Heck, I do that before I even THINK about buying software, or hardware for that matter. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Don't feel like the long ranger Skywalker. I did the EXACT same thing.
I had just won a copy of Win2k, installed it on my system, and went out and bought Norton Util 2000. ::sigh::
I wound up selling my copy, bought a DVD encore kit and some DVDs. Norton Util 2000 works just dandy on Win98SE. Happy ending http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[mattheadfat]

i had the same problem, although i had norton utilz 2000 before win2k, there wan't anything on the side of the win2k box that said "will not work with norton utilz", so i thought it would be ok http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[skywalker[TSG]]

well most software do work under win2k

so i thought it was ok

hmmm no i never look at the System Requirements because my comp will swallow anything out there (read most)

[jad1097]

Seal the box up and take it back. Use something like a hot knife or iron to melt the plastic back together.

Let me guess you ripped the plastic off, right?

This is the reason you just wasted $35.

Atleast you didn't burn your retna putting the cd on the tray or anything, you should feel lucky. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

No fried hardware this time? Consider yourself lucky. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[Warthog]

I do the same thing as Skywalker when buying GAMES http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif, but that's kinda different.

[Win_98]

the good news is that you may exchange it for something else but no refund so
check with the policy or work something out with whereever you buy it from.

[skywalker[TSG]]

me gona try that tomorow

well i ripped the plastic off and made a small bag of it witch i then filled with butan gas and set it to fire so the plastic is dead http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

Always living on the edge eh skywalker http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif. Get home contents insurance and fire insurance http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif.

[zzzreyes]

That is just G@y.....
I hate when dat happens, worse of all is taht 90% of the time they will never take software back

[jad1097]

I must ask! Why the hell would you do that? No wonder you are accident prone!

I really hate to come down on ya, but that is truly ignorant.

[jad1097]

I hate when that happens! don't double click that **** submot now button!

shoot..I was kind of hoping to read about a dismemberment or at least a big bruise...oh well....

http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif j/k Obviously no system can handle every product...thats why they put the requirements on the box.
