I have dual boot on my computer: W98SE and W XP.
The program installs OK in W XP, but when I try to install it in W 98SE, and try
to run the program, I get the following error message:

"Spywareblaster
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
If the problem persists, contact the program vendor."

These are the details:
SPYWAREBLASTER caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 016f:bff7b9a6.
Registers:

EDX=0174f01c ES=0177 EDI=00d4f3d8 GS=0000
Bytes at CS:EIP:

Stack dump:

009bc2b8 00000000 0174f094 00000000 00000000 009bc2d8 708f6cbe

Any suggestions, Will ? (other than trying to contact the Vendor" - I didn't
buy it)
Is it not designed to run on W 98?
I found that usually, when I try to install a program in W 98 which is designed
specifically for W XP, it refuses to install.

Thanks!

John
