W2K Norton Reboot
Feb 8, 2007
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.

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 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

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 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've created a Norton Ghost (v10.0) image of my winxp os disk. Whan I want to do is to make it to a bootable dvd, so whenever I want to reinstall it all I need is to boot from the ghost image and it recovers my os partition. But I can't figure out how to do that.
the files I've got from Norton Ghost: winxp_image.v2i NG Recovery Point Storage.ini computer_name.sv2i

Thanks to those who responded to my question on July 7th on Norton Anti-Virus 2005 acking as a firewall. There seems to be a variety of opinons on that but Norton has since then assured me that their 2005 program does indeed act as a firewall as well as an Anti-Virus software and unlike Windows XP's firewall it monitors the behavior of outgoing network traffic. The program did ask me if I wanted the "worm" feature and I agreed and it did turn off the windows firewall to avoid conflict. I asked about installing ZoneAlarm as well and was told there was no need to do that and it might also conflict with Norton

I do not speak Microsoft so if I use any terms which are not quite correct please make allowances. I purchased a new laptop on Friday which includes Norton Firewall. The
machine came preconfigured with Windows XP (Version 5.2 with service Pack 2) nstalled. I set the machine up to access my home network which includes other machines in an MSHOME work group and to route through the firewall router to the Internet. All this worked as I expected

I was installing Norton Security and it locked up during install When I rebooted, Norton had changed all my files extensions from exe to lnk
As a result none of the programs or files work. After reading a lot, I tried to
restore my registry. Since Norton changed the files, any command in run does not work. I comes up with a dialog asking for a file association

I was helping my Dad clean up his My Documents folder. Halfway through the process, I could not longer choose several .doc files, highlight them, and then right click and choose copy. The process would just hang and I would have to use Ctrl-->Alt-->Delete to end the hung process. Did some web searches about the problem and found out about ShellExView . Following some online instructions, I slowly started to disable the 'Context Menu' extensions. It didn't take long. When I disabled the Context Menu item associated with Norton 360, which is called BUContext MenuClass the problem disappeared. Enabling the item immediately produced the same problem.
Norton 360 wasn't my first choice for my Dad's system. I used to think of Norton stuff as terrible, bloated and a resource hog. I was away from town for a while and my Dad had some computer problem; he had a guy in who uninstalled Avast and installed this version of Norton AV.Is it okay for me to have disable this 'Context Menu' item? In truth I have no idea what it is - I was just following some online troubleshooting tips I got, which happened to work. Is my Dad's computer open to attack if I disable the item? I left it enabled until I get an answer to this.
