desktop problems
Hi everybody,
Don't know if I am posting this in the right spot but here's my problem. When I start my other pc the only thing iI get is Nav Auto-Protect Unable to determine the location of the configuration files. Anyone one know what the problem could be? Any help would be appreciated. |

Does it completely lock the computer? If so boot into Safe mode, and uninstall then reinstall it...
Or just get rid of Norton!  You will be much happier!

no, just uninstall norton, and reinstall it, or another antivirus program if at all possible. 'avg free' is great, just google it and install that instead of norton. make sure you uninstall everything norton first, and everything symantec too.

anyway if you don't know how to completely uninstall windows and reinstall it you could try a repair install which consistes of putting in your windows disc before the computer totally boots up and then when it comes to the windows instillation screen hit R for repair that might fix your problem

i use system mechanic to clean my registry. it gets rid of the entries from programs i no longer have installed, or does it? i've completely removed norton a few times.
anyway, if all norton and symantec programs are uninstalled from add/remove programs in the control panel, i'm pretty sure the problem he is having will go away. no need to go overboard on the solution to a simple problem.
