Hey there,

I really hope someone can help with this. A friend's pc had some problems so i installed Norton Antivirus 2005. After being prompted to restart to finish the install I did so and XP restarted. However on getting back into windows, XP just hung on the "Windows Installer" dialog box. I cancelled this and tried to restart but XP was hanging so I turned off the pc and restarted. Now everytime XP starts it hangs for a long time. Then if i try to do something like open "My Computer" or anything, it hangs for a long while and doesn't even open after all that time. Anyone have any ideas what this might be? Is there anyway I can sort this out by entering setup before going into windows? Could I delete norton by entering setup at the start? Or maybe safe-mode? Please help asap. Thanks very much
