UAC Prevents Norton Installation
Apr 22, 2009
I have Vista Home Premium, and I'm trying to install Norton Internet Security 2009, which I downloaded from the website. The problem is that even when I tell User Account Control to allow the install program to run, nothing happens. I contacted Symantec about it, but all they said was that the user control policy is not allowing the installation to run and that I should contact Microsoft about how to fix it so the program can run. How do I do that?

I just tried to install Norton Internet Security on my laptop. It started the installation process but an error message" C:windowssystem32 iched32.dll not designed to run on windows or contains errors" came up and I could proceed no further. I installed the same cd on my xp pc with no issues. Is there a fix for this or is there an error on vista.

I have had problems connecting to the internet using Vista ultimate, so I did a clean install with SP1 and installed norton ghost V12 so I could make a backup of the clean install , I can connect to my ISP but cannot go any further, there is no animation of the internet icon in the taskbar even though it is turned (animation) on , the diagnostic link could not give any answers, and when the internet icon in the taskbar is right clicked and open the network settings (bottom of the list) it shows My ISP to my Computer OK but from my computer to the internet is a large X which means I cannot get out to the web..

Problem: Today I bought a second 22" widescreen monitor, an ASUS VK222H Upon connecting it to my second monitor port and booting, windows claims it was improperly shutdown, and when picking Boot as Normal, it blue screens shortly after before reaching user login. Removing my original monitor and plugging the new ASUS in ONLY, yielded the same improper shutdown message with following BSOD.
Either monitor will boot in safe mode, however only my original viewsonic will make it all the way to login. Everything runs fine with only the Viewsonic connected, but with only the ASUS, or with both, it blows up on me. The BSOD was something along the lines of System_Service_Exception citing a file which I believe was nvlddmkm.sys. I did a bit of googling but did not find anyone, or any answers that had something to do with adding a second monitor, lots of answers about various graphic drivers, but none specific enough that I wanted to start trying any.

Anyone have any luck running this game under Vista SP1 (refresh)? Game is updated, I have tried the bcdedit variable but that didn't help.SP1 prevents me from installing the KB940105 update so I can't try that. Yes I know SP1 is beta and I probably will need to uninstall it to get the game to work, I am just curious if anyone else is playing it under SP1 without issues....

I recently got a new computer running Windows Vista and everything is working great except the monitor won't turn off automatically like it should. My Screen Saver starts fine after 3 minutes of inactivity - I'm using the built-in My Pictures Slideshow that shows personal pictures & video clips. But the monitor never turns off even though I have it configured to auto-power off after 30 minutes of inactivity - it just stays
on all day running my screen saver. If I change the screen saver to a different one the monitor turns off after 30 minutes like it should. The problem seems limited to the My Pictures Slideshow screen saver. This is troubling because this same configuration worked fine with Windows XP (the only difference was that XP's My Pictures Slideshow did not include videos - it only showed pictures). Is this just a bug in Vista or is there something I can do to resolve the problem?

I have a broadband connection but when I try to send a message (I am receiving with no trouble) it goes to the Outbox. When I press SEND, a dialup connection dialog box opens and tries to find a dialup connection. I have tried some fixes, such as Tools/Accounts/Connection/Properties, and the Never Dial a Connection radio box is marked but all is greyed out, so I cannot apply it. Also, if I try to open anything else from the Properties box, such as General or Advanced, the procedure goes grey and I get a "Not responding" message.

I have my power settings configured ot turn off the monitor after 15 minutes of inactivity. . . but the problem is, if I'm playing a game with my Logitech USB Gamepad, Vista doesn't count the input from the gamepad as 'activity', which is a little puzzling.
Is there a way to get Vista to recognize gamepad input as activity so that it does not turn off my display in the middle of playing my game? I do realize that I can change my power settings to just not turn off the display, but that's inconvenient because then I have to change my settings back when I'm done with the game. As far as I'm concerned, Vista is just not behaving in a reasonable fashion if game controller input doesn't prevent screen blanking.

I am trying to d/l a tv programe, but the Vista Media Player, says "Windows Media Player has a DRM error that prevents iPlayer from downloading and playing programmes." The help says "Either you are told that a "DRM reset is required" or else the Security Upgrade button is greyed out." Where is the Security Upgrade button, if it exists. As I have not seen a message saying DRM reset is required. Having said that if it does need resetting how do I do that.

I get a security alert saying my antivirus software may not
be installed. Then, later I get a popup from Norton saying Windows Firewall
has been turned on. Do u want to use Norton Internet Security instead of
Windows Firewall? My Windows Firewall had always been turned on. This started
the other day after I did salvagerepository to fix something else. Does
Windows Vista recognize Norton? How do I stop these from popping up? Also, my
free subscription to norton ends in a week?

I recently upgraded my Norton's Internet Security to Norton 360 - which contains a disk optimizer (defrag). Prior to upgrading Norton my Vista Defrag tool worked fine no problem and always on schedule. After the upgrade to Norton, I was setting up the program and the defrag tool in Norton said "pending" which I left alone, because I was comfortable using the native defrag utility. However, now the vista defrag does not work. I went into the the vista tool to look at the schedule and it gave the last run date ( I had it set to weekly on Wed at 1am).
The next scheduled defrag said "Never" despite the box checked "run automatically". I then unchecked the box and rechecked it, and then it gave the next scheduled date which I changed to that evening. I left it alone until the next morning and it not only did not defag per the schedule but the Vista tool said next scheduled defrag "never" and Norton was back to Pending again. I have to assume this has something to do with Norton. I am told that Norton's defrag tool is tied to Vista's tool.

so my Norton Internet Security expired on my Asus laptop and I uninstalled it and Norton LiveUpdate. My internet worked fine. Then I installed AVG 8.5 antivirus and as soon as I rebooted the machine my internet stopped working. It says "the connection keeps resetting" when I try and get on the internet, and I cannot update the AVG now. I did turn on the Windows Firewall right after restarting, but after turning it back off, I'm still without internet. I'm using a NetGear wireless router connected to a broadband modem.

The problem is Norton Virus running. You have to disable it while you are running restore or run restore in safe mode (Norton won't be running)

Upon accessing Windows Security Center, I see both Virus Protection and Spyware are both turned Off. Upon accessing Security Provider - Symantec, I see only Norton Internet Security listed. What do we need to do for the Windows Security Center to acknowledge Norton 360 installed and working well?

An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'Yahoo!', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x80004005
I recently upgraded to latest level of Nortin Internet Security 2008 (when they prompted me to!), and since then I cannot receive email via Windows Mail from my Yahoo account. See error message above. Just spoke to Symantec who claim that NIS 2008 is fully compatible with Windows Mail. I'm not convinced as the problem only started with their upgrade, and all was working perfectly before.

This note it intended to assist those who wish to use either of the subject programs in the same fashion I do. I have extensive experience with Acronis version 10, initial release and build 9042 and version 11 build 8035. Also experienced with Norton Ghost version 10 and version 12. Both products are good. I choose not to use the Acronis products because executing scheduled backup tasks with validation for 4 systems would take about 9 hours and 20 minutes using Acronis TrueImage whereas the same tasks using Norton Ghost would take about 2 hours and 40 minutes.
I back up four systems to an external drive on a regular basis. Each backup is a full image of a system. Each backup is validated. Each system backs up to a different directory on an external drive. I keep 6 backups for each system. All backups are scheduled overnight on the same night. The drive is attached locally to a Vista system and 3 XP systems back up to it's directory via a LAN. The back up time for the 4 systems are about 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes. Validating the backups take roughly the same time as does the backup. These times are about the same for all the products.
The time difference (9 hrs 20 min vs 2 hrs 40 min) is due to what I consider a flaw in the scheduled validation process of the Acronis products. When executing a scheduled backup with validation, the Acronis products validate every backup on the backup location. The first backup of 10 minutes and 6 validations of 10 minutes each takes about 1 hr 10 min. The second backup of 20 minutes and 6 validations takes about 2 hrs and 20 min. The same time needed for the third backup. The 4th backup of 30 min and 6 validations takes about 3 hrs 30 min. A total of about 9 hrs 20 mins.

I downloaded a bandwidth meter, after getting excess data usage on my cable bill. We only surf, upload pics, forums, occasional DL, etc. Nothing heavy. Yesterday I used 750 mb just surfing!! the only DL I did was a 22mb Adware, to check for spyware. no viruses, well protected here. I uninstalled yahoo, bitching that it must be that. I saw a drop, but not enough to use as much as i was, just surfing. I got to thinking about how years ago, Norton (or McAffee I forget) used to DL mail to their server, scan it and then redownload it to your computer. I thought Norton must have a similar bug. I was 31 days into my 90 day trial, and that has been the only major change on here. I uninstalled Norton and viola usage is down about 90%. I always thought it was strange that Norton never notified me of anything, but obviously it was busy doing something in the background. Just the occasional notification (rarely) that it found a problem and fixed it. Although they were idiotic notifications, like we found a cookie and fixed it.
