SkydiveMonkey 0 #1 May 16, 2002 I've had to re-install windows 2000 cos of Norton AV. I was upgrading from 2001 to 2002 and it just totally screwed the system. I could use windows for about 10 seconds after logging in before it decided that it would reset the system for me.

SkydiveMonkey 0 #5 May 16, 2002 Yes I did - it totally screwed it up. I even ploughed through the registry with no luck, installed a back up of my system files taken about a week ago, also with no luck. Still, Windows loads nice and quick now without all of the crap on it !! When I grow up, I want to be a post whore Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #6 May 16, 2002 Well, since you said that when you loaded up windows, Norton came on and then restarted it after so long.Mine did that as well, so I just ctrl+alt+delete RIGHT on start-up and then "end task" on everything but "explorer" so that it wasn't running. once I got everything stopped and Windows running, I just went in, unstalled, cleaned the reg, and so on.After reinstalling, it runs like a charm. Not that it matters, so I am glad it works good now. JumpinDuo.com...come and sign the guestbook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
