Thanks... I did all of the things below, disabled it (it
wasn't enabled) in Norton, and I still have the problem.
Also, under TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> Preferences, there is NO
option to 'Run this Program when Windows starts'! I have
version 4.7.2.. thanks.. (btw - I already removed it in
Control Panel/windows components)
