Usually Norton will uninstall the previous version from your PC.
I would recommend that you uninstall the 2005 version via the
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove utility
and then install the 2007 version as a fresh install.
It's too bad you didn't ask about Norton before you bought it. There are several FREE, really good antivirus programs out there now, that you don't need to spend big bucks on a resource hog like Norton or McAfee anymore.
Good luck with the install.

First you must uninstall 2005 and your firewalls...then it will install...it's best to do this off-line.... You might have to open your control panel and change your security settings...Good luck.

I would try that, it sounds like a logical explanation to me. It might be that it's trying to update and cannot.
