Norton Anti-Virus 2005

[mark1984]

Has anyone ever seen the attached picture of an error type message that i keep receiving when i restart my PC.

Its only started happening since i upgraded my xp sp2 using the windows xp with sp2 cd. I did this because i was installing a new motherboard but turn out to be a faulty board, so i installed my old motherboard but continued with the upgrade process.

Now everytime i restart i get the attached message.

Des anyone know how to stop this message from popping up.

Thanks for any help.

Do you really need SP2? If you have a good firewall & a good popup blocker don't bother for now - uninstall SP2. Alot of people have been having problems - personally I'm waiting for the dust to settle before letting it near my machines.

Have a look around the web - you'll see lots of individuals and companys are staying away from SP2 for now for various reasons - at the end of the day its up to you...

Just my 10 cents.

had serious issues with NAV2005 and sp2 (your post was just one of them), reverted back to nav2004.

Hi thanks for the replies, I've just upgraded to Norton SystemWorks 2005 Premier, which at first i haddvarious issues with installing, but eventually i managed to get in installed by having to uninstall SystemWorks 2004.

This appears to hve cured that message from popping up when i start windows but for how long i dont know, lol.

Thanks again.

Just thought i would add to this, If you are thinking of upgrading any of your norton products from 2004 to 2005, etc, then i would suggest uninstalling them completly by using the instructions on nortons website which is found at the bottom of this http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01092114452606.

Cause i have just had nearly the whole weekend trying to sort the fecker out. I upgraded to System Works 2005, didn't seem to have problems but then i tried upgrading Internet Sercurity 2004 to 2005 but it had an error part way through and ended up uninstalling all of internet security, and it wouldnt reinstall, then i uninstalled system works (big mistake as i couldnt get it back on). Well after 36 hours of fiddling about and trying different things (i was trying to avoid connecting to the internet while i didnt have any protection cause knowing my luck 5 mins and i would have 70 trojans), i eventually found the norton website and uninstall all the files that the add/remove tool doesnt. And this morning i managed to install both 2005 programs.

Very frustrating, so just be warned that its probably best to start from fresh rather the install on top of one another.

Regards

Mark
