Re: Symantec Error

Hi Rainy,

>From Symantec support:

<quote>

Error "S32evnt1.dll. An installable Virtual Device Driver failed DLL
initialization"

Situation: When you start the computer, you see an error message similar to
"<Path>\ S32evnt1.dll. An installable Virtual Device Driver failed DLL
initialization."

Solution: To fix the problem, edit the registry and restart the computer.
Then, update the Symevent files and restart the computer again.

Follow the directions for your version of Windows:

To edit the Windows XP registry
On the Windows taskbar, click Start > Run.
In the Run dialog box, type regedit, and then click OK.
Go to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers

In the right pane, delete the VDD value.
In the left pane, right-click the VirtualDeviceDrivers key, and then click
New > Multi-String Value.
Type VDD for the name of the new value.
Exit the Registry Editor.
Restart the computer.

<end>
