When a new operating system is produced after Symantec software was released, new software compatibility issues sometimes occur. Because of these issues, not all current Symantec products are certified to run under every Windows operating system.

Important information

• A product can be compatible without being certified. Both compatible products and certified products are fully tested for functional stability and operability. Products marked "compatible" are tested by Symantec, and products marked "certified" are tested by an independent testing company. Any product marked "certified" is also "compatible."
  
  
• If you are looking to upgrade to Vista soon, please use our Norton Update Center for Windows Vista to allow us to help you get compatible updates for your Norton products. Click here to get started.
  
  
• Norton products that are compatible with Windows XP Service Pack 2 are also compatible with Windows XP Service Pack 3.
  
  
• Norton products that are compatible with Windows Vista are also compatible with Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2.
   
  

Not compatible

• Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
  Except Norton Ghost 14.0/12.0 and Norton Save and Restore 2.0, no other consumer products are compatible with Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. If you need to install antivirus software on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (64-bit), you will find the applicable information in Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.
  
  
• Windows 2003 Server
  pcAnywhere 12.5, 12.1, 12.0 and 11.5 are the only consumer products compatible with Windows 2003 Server.
  
  
• Windows XP Starter Edition
  There are currently no consumer products that have been tested to be compatible with Windows XP Starter Edition, and running these products on that operating system is not currently supported.
  
  
• Windows Vista Starter Edition
  Many problems have been fixed in the latest Norton product update. If you have a valid subscription, then you are eligible for the latest product update. Click the button to update your Norton program.
