344696 2005-04-14 01:11:00 I have a Compaq Presario 5000 Windows Me
I am unable to install an anti-virus program.
I took the hard drive out & scanned it for viruses as a slave - clean
I put the hard drive back in, rechecked all anti-virus programs were uninstalled
ran spyware check with 3 programs - removed all traces
I installed Norton Anti-Virus 2005.
Clicking on the desktop icon wouldn't do anything. click on the program in the program list provided the same results. Norton shows in the taskbar.

I uninstalled Norton and install AVG v.7
Installed ok but sent the display setting into a whirl.
Viewing at 640x480 and can't adjust it higher.

Any thoughts as to why this is happening and what to do about it.

344698 2005-04-14 01:55:00 I found it VERY difficult to get rid of Nortons before installing another AV.
Have you done a search to make sure Nortons is really gone ?

344699 2005-04-14 01:59:00 I'll re-install the video drivers and report back - thank you! NZHawk (4093)
344700 2005-04-14 03:25:00 don't know?
I tried multiple ways of re-installing the video driver and Compaq refused each time and then whamo it installed.
I re-installed AVG, updated it and everything is peachy.

Thank you all for your input
