yes, this is a question which should be asked on a tech support forum, but those forums suck. (period) here is my problem: I just installed norton internet security 2003 on my computer. I did the suggested symantec live update and restarted my computer like it said. When I restarted I noticed that the task bar wasn't loading very fast, which ended up not loading at all. I get a "settings alert" which says there may be an attacker trying to prevent my from doing anything. It suggests that I uninstall and reinstall all symantec programs, however I cannot remove the programs because windows installer has been messed up also. i hate computers. |

Heheh, an "attacker". Trying to cover their sorry asses. |

why don't you uninstall those problems if you log in in the safe mode? or can't you do that either? |

those problems=those symantec programs :) |

this is a really really bad time for my computer to screw up. I'm in the middle of filming and I have about half a movie edited on my computer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
surely you backed up your stuff? i mean, if i was seriously into filming and editing I'd do all my stuff on an external 7200rpm firewire drive, so all my stuff would be intact should my system go down. i hope that things can be sorted out for you - i know how much of a bitch Windows can be. |

i'm not seriously into filming, this is a project (albeit a hefty one). What i've done so far is all fine (though getting it off this computer without a working drive may prove difficult), the problem is I cant use the editing program to finish the rest. I just discovered I have no internet connection (how am i on xltronic?) |

can you get access to another computer? are you running Windows NT/2000/XP? if you can get access to another computer, rip the hard drive out of your machine and stick it in the other computer as a slave and copy accross your data. if your machine is running the above OS's you'll need to use a machine that is running an OS capable of using NTFS drives |

Norton anything = 10% chance of catastrophic failure, 50% chance of software incompatibilities (i.e., some or all of your apps will stop working), 75% chance of moderate to severe performance degradation, 100% chance of feelings of helplessness, shame and sexual inadequacy. |

i'm not going to go through the whole switch-a-roo, that always causes more problems than it fixes. fleetmouse=correct i'm in the 10% |
||||||||

|

well actually, if you do it right it doesn't cause any problems. all you're doing is hooking up your hard drive to another computer, then starting windows from the other computer's hard drive so that you can access the files on your hard drive. simple, and a a piece of piss to do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oscillik is correct - if you install your drive as a secondary (slave) in another PC, you'll be able to copy your data over. Or if you have the spare cash, buy a second drive, install a fresh Windows, then put in your old drive as slave and copy your documents and movies and pr0n over. Then you can use the leftover drive to make backups once in a while. |

its hard to explain butmy hard drive sucks. last time i tried to reformat it cancelled halfway through and i was left with a half formatted drive. I tried about 20 more times over the course of two days and on the last try it worked, without doing anything differently. I've had it looked at and nobody seems to be able to tell me why it would do that. Ya so, what i'm saying is there's a evil faery inside my computer. |

i have a specific and answerable question (cheer). I want to uninstall internet security, however the only way to do that (according to the user's guide) is by going to start menu and going to norton internet security and clicking on uninstall. The problem is i have no start menu, or taskbar, so how do i uninstall this piece of duty. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and by duty i mean shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what OS are you running? if it's Windows 2000 or Windows XP, press CTRL+ALT+DEL and click Task Manager, once the Task Manager comes up, you should be able to run a program from the File menu. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm running XP (forgot to say that) hitting ctrlaltdel just makes the task manager pop up, no clicking, and what do you mean by running a program from the file menu. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
o "run" gotchya, however i dont know any commands so... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you people are so insensitive maybe your computer has a you problem |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would say most definately it does |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, see if you can run "explorer.exe" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never quite liked Norton. What is a good professional system utilities program? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've done that it doesn't show the start menu or anything i need |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is there really no other way to uninstall this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you browse using that "run", you can find the uninstall.exe file in the Norton directory. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if norton actually has a proprietary uninstaller program, you could try running that? then hopefully your computer will be usable |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ahh the joys of having an honours degree... ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
