Well when it comes to Norton you
May have to go to its home site for
The instructions on proper removal.
I'm not a fan of Norton as it has long
Tentacles that intertwine with the o.s.
and the boot sector too.
and when you remove it, it takes
some of the o.s. with it, figuratively
so perhaps, you do have an interesting
theory.
--------------------
unfortunately, however the remnants
that could affect your system may be
in the registry.
---------------------
what may be a solution for you if the
safe boot (not safemode) that I
previously mentioned to you proves
unhelpful,
then perhaps a repair installation on the
o.s. is needed to restore missing or
corrupt system files.
however, this would require that your
o.s. on the disk is the same version as
the winxp cd.
----------------------
that being said, you might also try to
reboot with a cd, launch the recovery
console and do a chkdsk.
a chkdsk will re index the files to the
master file table.
sometimes it is a good idea to run
a chkdsk once in a while especially after
many installs and uninstalls of programs.

Hi db,.
Well, I think I may have mentioned this before, but we are doing all our
investigations from "Safe Mode" on the "faulty" machine. And then, sometimes
what he does after running a diagnostic, he'll go online using our other
"good" machine and copies down the errors or whatever. I think I've got that
right, as to how he threads a needle thru a camel's eye. As for your tip, I
have copied it for husband, and this afternoon he will fool with it. We'll
let you know what happens, and thank you for the ideas.
Also, would like some feedback about the idea that perhaps at a previous
time, we may have removed a Symantac Corp Norton thingamagig, and it left a
remnant that is preventing some of our startup stuff to load? We sure don't
want to fool with the registry to get rid of it, maybe there is a back way?
To be continued...

well that's interesting.
how did he acquire a view of the
event viewer if the monitor is
deemed unpredicatable.
in any case, here is something
you can try. it's an old trick:
boot up and after you select
normal boot from the diagnostic
menu
hold down the right shift key
and don't let go until you see
the first incon appear on the
desktop.
