Doug - I'm not sure what to look for with this link (Seems to be under
construction.) I have a friend who just loaded Norton 2005 onto his PC (He
had some virus problems) He's running the home edition of XP, and has Spybot
on his machine, but after doing his install, virus scan, letting Norton fix
and delete files as needed to clear his viruses, he is getting hit with the
same problem - His PC shuts down in a split second after loading his desktop
up. Can you send a new link or cut-n-paste what it was you were trying to
tell Bigg Sexxy. TIA
