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. Eisboch 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. http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000743.html There are a lot of articles about prefetch. The first one I came across says not to delete it. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** I see Reggie or one of the other assholes has "swiped" my "boater" id here. Schittheads-uber-alles. Sure. And you were on the case a mere 26 minutes later. WAFA. |
