Ahhhhh...You've found one of the many Norton aggravators. Really.
There are pages and pages of URLs that lead to ways to resolve
problems incurred in complete removal of Norton from a computer. I kid
you not.

I stopped using Norton some years ago because I could not get it to
update certain modules no matter what, and neither could the "tech
support" guys in Bombay.

Good luck!


Yup. That's what I've read about Norton and attempts to remove it
completely. I tried to delete it from my XP machine, but parts of it
are still there, including the window asking me if I want to install it
every time it boots. I was told by someone with more computer smarts
than I that I'd be better off just to continue refusing it's
installation prompt, which I've been doing on that computer for about 4
years now.
I suppose I could just get in the habit of doing the same thing with
this new Vista machine.

Try this:

Open the "Run" command.

Type "prefetch".

It will open a window with several files - delete them all (really).

At a minimum it should help your start up time if it doesn't fix the
problem.
