I have been battling with a Norton problem for quite some time now. The Antivirus will not load upon startup and when I go to manually set up auto protect, I cannot enable it. Additionally, the status of my email scanning with this program is listed as "error" and marked with a red "X". I have tried several things to fix this problem but nothing has worked.

View 1 Replies View RelatedEver have the curiosity to enable auto run on your floppy drives? Probably not, but just in-case you have had the itch to do so, I will explain how it's done.This tip involves editing the registry, so I would highly recommend making a backup of it first before proceeding.Find or create the key :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Microsoft->Windows->Current Version->Policies->Explorer->Then find the value named : NoDriveTypeAutoRun.Note : if your value has 95 in it, proceed to step 1, if it has "B5" or anything else, proceed to step 2.Step 1. Right click on this value and click Modify. If the value has 95 in it, delete the number 95 and replace it with 91 , making sure to keep all zeros and spaces in the value.Step 2. If the value has B5 in it, or any other letter followed by the number 5, change ONLY the number to 1, so, for example it looks like B1. NOTE: If you value does not have 95 in it, and instead has a value with a letter such as B and then a 5, this tweak may not work.Then click OK, restart your computer, and you will now be one happy auto run man.
first of all, under the settings for window's firewall, i am not able to choose whether or not i want to enable it or disable it. it is set as disabled and both the enable/disable buttons are greyed out and i cannot click it. second, my auto update keeps turning itself off. after setting it back on, it will turn off the next time i boot my computer. third, i'm having some networking problems. i can connect onto the other computers of my network, however the other computers cannot connect to me. are all these problems related in anyway?

I'm trying to limit access to my PC through the password protect feature of my screensaver. When I configure my screensaver a box that says "On resume, Display Welcome screen". I checked this box, so that the screensaver will go to the Welcome Screen when it exits. This works fine if the screensaver is initiated by windows automatically (when the appropriate time of inactivity elapses). However, I've created a shortcut to the screensaver, and when I double-click it, the screensaver loads, but when I deactivate it (move the mouse, press a key) it does not go the the Welcome Screen, so the computer is not locked.
