I need serious help with this...

Hi,

I have here a Dell D600 laptop running XP PRO with SP2.
I recently re-formatted/re-installed everything, I did that on Tuesday. Now I’m having the same problem, again.

First off, when I boot, the PC freezes at logon.
It says "Loading your personal settings..."
And it freezes. Although I can move the mouse the system is useless at that point.

I'm also having an issue with Norton Internet Security 2005

I installed the same night as I did the OS re-format, today as I booted up it opened windows installer & then gave the message

Norton Internet Security does not support the repair feature please uninstall and reinstall.

So I reinstalled and updated and rebooted, everything worked fine. I finished what I had to do, shut down and was gone for an hour. I came back turned it on and worked on it some more the I shutdown and I left once more around 7 I came back 10 minutes ago. Booted this computer and the logon froze twice and I had to restart twice. When I finally got it to load all the way to desktop. The Norton thing came up.


What the hell is going on here.... this is really pissing me off...

Can anyone help me...?



Thanks in advance...


Ilya


PS... The norton thing also come up when i open an Office XP product, like word, excel, etc

I also havn't had many good experiences with norton internet security programs so I would recommend uninstalling it and choosing a different anti-virus program.

If you don't want to do that, try stop norton loading at startup.

Start>run

Type "msconfig" click on the startup tab and deselect the norton exe's.

I think one of them that used to cause me problems was ccapp.

Hope that helps.

Is that whats slowing down the system.... I dont think its the norton.... i think its something else

I have heard loads of times about Norton using too much memory and crippling systems. Do as neil121183 says and see if that solves your problem. I use AVG free edition and Sygate free firewall.
