Try booting into Safe Mode
(http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406)
or open the links using another machine, Roger. You can download the
applications and save them to CD or floppies which can then be used to
install them on the problem machine. You can read and copy out or print the
info at PestPatrol.
