I have the Deer in the Headlights feeling so please be kind.I recently bought a T5010 Desktop Pentium 4 eMachine pre loaded with Microsoft Windows with XP Home pre installed. It includes an Optical Drive DVD+/RW 16x Double Layer Multi-Format Drive. I have installed the Norton Internet Security 2005 which came with a free 90 day subscription. A firewall is included in the Norton Setup. The problem is that I can't burn any audio CD-R's that will play in my 2 Technics CD players. I rip music to my Windows media player and can play them on the computerIt's a Windows media player vs. 10. My new recorded music from the new computer will play on my portable CD player and my brothers non Technics player fine
I just purchased a new Media Center PC running MCE 2005. Circuit City installed Norton Internet Security program.Currently, it says that Supervisor is logged on/Parental Control is OFF. I am currently the only user, but I would like to setup at least 2 other users. I have setup a Passport, but I have not set a password for my user account. I am confused on whether I need to setup the password in Norton Security or in Windows User Accounts where I setup my passport account? I understand that I can have Norton control user accounts or Windows control user account. Which one am I likely to have the least problems with? If I select Windows to manage the user accounts, do I setup my user accounts with passwords before I run Norton to assign account types to user accounts? There does not seem to be a forum for Norton Internet Security that I can post too?
Since this is a very new PC, I want to make sure I do not do anything wrong. I have read the info on how to setup Norton Security, but I am still confused on where I log on and off (Norton has a log on/off option) and where I setup the accounts first. Since I have not setup what account manager I am going to use I am not sure that Norton is configured properly.
have a similar thread here but this is a different solution im looking for. Can anyone or does anyone have a system restore in order to reinstall windows onto my computer that is from or compatible with an Emachine EL-1300G model emachine? Would be very appreciative if one could be uploaded to rapidshare or something in order for me to download to my external so I can burn my own bootdisk and get things running again. Going NUTS without my computer!
I've setup Windows 2003 fax services on a W2K3 server and shared the device. I've tested faxing from Word on my PC and it works fine.However, when other users try to install the fax client, the setup hangs asking for the fx* setup files. I've tried different XPSP2 CDs, copying the files to a local directory, making sure that the users have local admin rights (and even domain admin rights) but to no avail. The files are already in the system32 directory so in theory the setup doesn't even need to copy them. Even if I delete them, it doesn't work.Our corporate SMS team reckons that there isn't any policy which could cause the problem.
I started an upgrade for xp pro part way through the install I got a message "WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe" no found I pressed enter then got another message "fake setup call himself instead original "setup.exe" ; setup abort!" now each time I reboot it starts to load xp then gives me the same message then press enter it then reboots.
I mistakenly launched XP Setup and want to know how to stop it from progressing further. I have another XP installed on another virtual disk. Rebooting from there allowed me delete the Setup files. Or so I thought ! The main XP installation however continues to try to launch Setup. Just about whatever I do, it ends in tears. My question is how do I stop XP on this disk from thinking it has to launch Setup? I dont want to reinstall XP, as that will involve a huge amount of work to recreate my environment.
I was told to reinstall windows 2000 aon a C800 I was given. I stopped with an erroro reading line 3221166496 hivedef.inf corrupted. Setup cannot continue.
I have Windows XP and have the windows firewall on. I also have Norton 2005 Systemworks. Funny thing happened, I turned off the windows firewall under control panel, windows firewall. But when I open control panel, security center, it says there is a firewall on. I don't beleive I have a firewall with Norton Systemworks
i am trying to install windows office 2007 but after a minute from start of installation ,it popup dialog box saying setup can not find setup.exe file and say browse valid installation source and click ok. I don't know whats happening.I have just formated my C drive and installed fresh copy of windows xp. here is image of error message. what should i do?
I dropped my laptop the other day. It kept working at first, but crashed a couple of hours later. Now, when I boot-up, I get the following error message:"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: System32/Drivers/Ntfs.sys. You can attempt to repari this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair."I've inserted the setup CD (in an external CD-Rom drive, since my laptop doesn't have its own drive). But for some reason, setup won't start, and I keep coming back to the above error message. How do I start setup?
I scanned through the past posts and didn't see anything on this recently. (which surprised me.I'm running a Dell xps T500 with Windows XP SP2 and IE7 Browser. I'm on a home network (cable) with ethernet and using Norton 360 for the protection suite. I also have Webroot SpySweeper and all udpates have been completed. All current scans have been done as well. MS updates were installed via auto update and now IE 7 gives me the error "IE cannot display the webpage" which stops me from getting to any other website (so I can download Mozilla ). I have gone out to the MS site and run through the troubleshooting options there:1) Can't view another webpage2)Network diagnostics reveal no problems3)Reset the modem/routers4)Deleted Browsing History5)Used the No Add-Ons Mode6)Disabled Norton 7)Tested the connected in safe mode, still got the error8)No third party conflicts9)Checked the device manager for issues, and found none10)Finally, reset the IE defaults, rebooted and still got the stupid error
I did a quick search and read through the first 2 pages of hits but didn't find anything relating to my problem. If there's a solved thread, please point me to it.I'm running W2K and when my Norton subscription ran out I decided to get Norton Internet Security 2006. After installing it I noticed that it would act funny any time there was a hardware change. If I shut down my PC and swapped the RAM sticks around, or installed/removed a hard drive, when I went to start up the PC again it would reboot. It'll even do it if I forget and leave a USB cable in without anything attached at the other end. At first I couldn't figure out what was causing it, but I didn't mind much because it would just reboot once and that was that. But over the last few months it's gone from once to 2-4 times on average, and longer on occasion. It was through this process that I realized the reboot happens as Norton is loading.
Well, today I was having some issues with my video acting up I suspect it's from a failing memory stick so I opened up the case and removed the offending stick. But when I started it back up it wouldn't stop rebooting. I continued working on my work laptop and it continuously rebooted for about half an hour before I said forget it and booted into safe mode.Unfortunately, I needed to do some printing and of course printing doesn't work in safe mode. So I thought maybe I'd uninstall Norton it gave me an error saying it couldn't uninstall in safe mode. Very funny, I thought. since Norton is what's keeping me from being ABLE to boot into normal mode.
A message from Norton that says I have a Trogan Vundo on my computer.When I use the Norton removal tool it does not find the virus.When I use the Norton scan it does.
I am running win xp pro sp2 and have just installed norton antivirus 2005. NAV recommends i use it instead of windows for my default firewall protection. should i turn off the windows firewall and rely just on the norton antivirus, which checks for worms, trojan horeses, etc by default or run both
I was wondering if there is any anti virus out there like the Norton Doctor. That has all the same things like pc doctor. I had trouble with Norton therefore, do not want to purchase it again. also what type of anti virus is the most effect my macfee does't seem to get everything because I do online virus scans and it has always missed omething
I know several people have experienced Norton Firewall disabling their ability to deliver mail in Outlook and Outlook Express. I found an article at the Norton Site http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPO [...] vy=&csm=no And it has solved the problem. I turned off the Privacy control and turned back on the Firewall and all is well. Hope it works for others as well
I recently had a problem with NPF 2005 that resulted in my uninstalling the program using the it's uninstall program. When I tried to reinstall the program, I discovered that the installer would not run. I have tried various methods to start the installer from the NPF 2005 install CD but nothing worked. The Symantic knowledge base suggested copying the CD to the hard drive and installing from the hard drive. This did not work either. I thought that perhaps the setup program has been corrupted so I tried the CD in a computer running Windows ME. The installer came to life and was ready to proceed with the installation. I did not attempt to complete the Installation, I only wanted to determine if the setup program had been corrupted. Does anyone have any idea why XP might not allow the program to run
My PC (Holly) bought in 2003 runs Windows XP(SP2). Also Norton Antivirus renewed annually/Norton Personal Firewall (2002), Mozilla Firefox.Up to now, have had no problems with the viruscan or the firewall, but I had to renew annual subscription to Antivirus and unable to download new Subscription from Symantec website (got error report with no explanation after putting in card details) so went and bought a disk of it (2007 version) from PC World. Was prompted to remove Symantec Personal Firewall when I started installation
I did remove it, with reluctance, thinking it might be difficult to reinstall the firewall and it is I have the original Symantec firewall disk, 2002 version, which came with PC. Anyway, I successfully installed the Viruscan 2007, then put in the disk for the Firewall to reinstall it.installation of firewall got message box with a red cross: NORTON INTEGRATOR: FAILED TO REGISTER FILE TYPES No other explanation,I did not know what else to do, I clicked it, it went way, and the installation proceeded. After all the installation tasks completed, I was asked to restart PC. My computer froze at that point. Would not close. Eventually I switched it off at mains, then restarted it in the usual way. The Norton Personal Firewall icon shows up and when I open it, it is not Enabled, neither can I get it to change to being enabled by clicking the button
When my computer is loading something flashed on screen. The next time it appeared I hit pause. It's called American Megatrends AMI.com. Did a search found nothing . What is it? Also the clock is set back to Jan 1 2001. Norton won't run a live update and under programs it shows new progams added which have been on the computer for a few years
When I run Norton Win Doctor within Norton Systemworks I get the following message: "C:Program FilesCommon FilesInstallShieldProfessionalRun Time701Intel 32Dot Net Installer.exe can not access a necessary file, mscoree.dll. what the message means and how do I find/install the missing file? I am running XP Pro.
I bought a new laptop a week ago and it came with Windows XP Home Edition. It also came with Norton AntiVirus already installed on it. I dislike Norton AntiVirus and decided to manually uninstall it. I went into regedit and deleted all Symantec and Norton files. Except for one file it wouldn't let me delete.A few days later (after I had no trouble installing such games as Starcraft, Blockland and Endless-Online) I tried to install The Sims, Lego Creator and some older games onto my computer from CD's. I got this message when attempting to install them
I have just loaded Norton Anti virus and Spy sweeper on my daughters laptop and it now switches off at random times.When I rebooted I just got a black screen with a white cursor blinking at me in the top left corner.I switched it off again and when I rebooted I pushed F8 and got into windows but it switched off again after a few minutes. I have now managed to uninstall Norton and Spy sweeper and the computer is ok( 4 now!) I need to install Norton and spy sweeper as we want to get her computer up and running on the net.I have both running on my computer with no problems.Her operating system is windows XP SP2.
I was wondering Have any of you ever heard of eTrust EZAntivirus and if so is it a good protection for Windows XP or Is Norton better. I know its just a matter of opinion but id like to here some pro's and con's before i make a decision thanks
I was just wondering, if you had norton ghost 9.0 can you copy your harddrive Operating system and all and if you had an older computer and you bought a new harddrive for it could you then copy your xp operating system and all onto the older computer? Like say you had an old computer with windows 98 on it. and you have a computer with windows xp. can you use norton ghost to copy the windows xp operating system and all the stuff on the xp computer and then if you formatted that win98 harddrive so it was empty then put the xp system on the old win98 computer harddrive and have it work?
I have Defender Pro 10-1 on my computer. The Virus protection part of the program expired in just a few months and I don't want to pay more to have a new key, I paid enough already. I was trying to install Norton and it says it cannot install because Defender Pro is there. I tried to uninstall through add and remove.I tried the uninstall that came with Defender Pro, and tried to go into program files and delete the folder myself. It will not uninstall because it is still running. I have exited everything I know how to exit.
I get random pop-ups (usually w/ mundane messages) from my Norton security & when I "X"-click on em to go away, they do go away.....for like, 2 seconds & pop back up again.howto get em to stop doing that repeatedly?
