Norton strikes again. Get rid of Norton. It is bloatware and trouble as you are finding out.

I have a Dell 8400 Desktop running Windows XP Pro. I had Norton Internet
Security 2008 installed. Before the attempted NIS 2009 install, I created a
System Restore Point.

I then attempted to install NIS 2009 from a CD. After running the install
program, it said that it was uninstalling another Norton program (presumably
NIS 2008). After that was complete, the screen said to reboot. I rebooted,
and the computer would not go past the Windows XP logo screen.

I manually turned it off. When I turned it on, the screen said the a prior
startup was intrerrupted. I chose the option to start it normally (didn't
work) and then from the last good configuration.

After a long time, the log in screen appeared but not all icons on the
system tray were present. I logged in to the Administrator account and
attempted to do a System Restore. The System Restore point I created today
was not present. I tried a Restore from prior System Created checkpoints and
nothing happens.

Any help in solving this problem will be appreciated.

Thanks.
