More information. I have backup disks so I ran one and looked at that
part of the Registry. Sure enough there was a key having to do with
Symantec, which I was told to remove by the uninstall instructions.

The missing key is

C:\Progra~1\Symantec\S32EVNT1.DLL

There is no C:\Program Files\Symantec anymore - I deleted it in
accordance with the uninstall instructions.

What a farce this is turning out to be.

Any suggestions on how to fix this.
