Re: Norton and ActiveX problems

Had the same problem here awhile back. To "fix" it, I had to
uninstall and then manually delete all the remaining files and
registry entries with "Norton" in them.
Next time it installed OK. Never did figure out what caused
it. It started with an update from 05 to 06.

Hello! I am having a few problems I was hoping someone could
help out
with. First off, when I load up Norton AntiVirus 2005, I get a
message
stating that a component failed to load or is missing and
directs me
uninstall and reinstall the program, which I have done twice
without
solving the problem. If I press OK on the box, everything in
the
window on system status, ie auto protect, full system scan,
renewal
date, email scanning ect, turns red and when clicked on prompts
me to
uninstall. I am able to manually update with live update and
scan my
computer from the scan for viruses tab however, and no viruses
were
found. Inside of the error box that pulls up when I open the
application, there is a link to the symantc website, which I
have
clicked. I offers me a link to run a web tool that may fix the
problem. When I click this, then click begin, it tells me to
click on
the yellow or blue bar below the address bar to allow the
program to
use ActiveX, but the bar does not appear. I have also visited
the
Microsoft Website hoping to find a security update that for
some reason
did not make it to the computer, but it also asks me to right
click a
blue bar to allow ActiveX access, but no bar appears. I have
noticed
that when visiting a webpage using IE, that any Flash animation
does
not load, and in it's place is a empty window with the tiny RBG
icon in
the upper left hand corner. This Flash problem does not occur
while
using FireFox. I have also tried to use system restore to fix
this
problem, but half of the time when trying to pull it up it does
nothing, and the other half it presents me with an empty white
window.
I have gone through my system processes one by one and they all
seem to
be legitimate. I certainly appriciate any help I might get
with this.
Thank you!
