Am running an older Thinkpad 600E, using an even older Windows 98 operating system. Would like to upgrade to at least Windows 98SE. Everytime I try to upgrade the O/S, I get a message that says that the upgrade cannot access certain files, apparently due to modification protections in place from my AVG anti-virus software.
Any fairly simple suggestions on how to bypass the software, maybe even temporarily, in order to achieve the upgrade. If I start up in Safe Mode, is that an option? And if I do, will the CD drive been recognized and enabled okay? I thought I remembered that Safe Mode will bypass enabling the files that load that activate the CD drive. Suggestions, since this can't be a brand-new problem that people have encountered?
Hmmm, if you have the antivirus installation disk or key, I suppose you could even uninstall it, do whatever you need to do, then reinstall it. Have you checked
www.symantec.com or
www.mcafee.com (depending on your software) to see what they say?
