I removed Windows SE Personal and have successfully installed Ad-Aware 2007 on my Windows XP 2000 computer. Then I removed SE Personal from my second computer which is older, a Windows 98 version, and attempted to install Ad-Aware 2007, but it failed to install successfully. Before I get into all the steps I could take that I have read about in the six pages in the forum, I am wondering if perhaps Ad-Aware 2007 simply will not work on Windows 98? If that's the case, then I won't have to go through all the rest to determine what the problem is. If it won't, then it would be nice to get SE Personal back (which, in any event, I found much clearer than Ad-Aware 2007) even though I could no longer get definitions on it. At least it continued to scan. I removed SE Personal through the add/remove programs on the Control Panel.
Also, on my Ad-Aware 2007 I, like another whose message I read, get numerous cookies to ignore (or remove) but have had no more notification of any serious items such as I used to get on SE Personal.
Back to my attempt to install Ad-Aware 2007 on my Windows 98, I get on my screen (when clicking on AROTrial for installation) a message saying that I cannot delete it because it is being used by Windows. That aside, the error message it gives me is: Runtime error [at 0-1:0]: Cannot import dll:C:\Windows\temp\is-6TMCC.tmp\CheckFor\/4.dll. Since it said that, I tried to delete it. Anyone have any thoughts on this message or on whether Ad-Aware 2007 is compatible with Windows 98?
