47249 2002-05-05 09:24:00 I am having trouble re-installing Norton systemworks.
I uninstalled because I was having trouble with the program which I have since fixed but now it wont let me reinstall. It keeps saying that I have an uninstall shield or something like that.
I thought I had uninstalled the program but there must be something left somewhere.
Can antone help?

Then when you try to remove it it often makes things difficult. So it's not surprising that you are having trouble getting it back on.

Believe me, you are far better off without it. If you need a stable operating system, save up your pennys and buy a copy of Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP.

47251 2002-05-05 10:49:00 How did you uninstall it? Did you use the uninstall in Nortons or did you go in through Windows uninstall??

I have been running Nortons now for 3+ years and have had minimal trouble with it.

Would suggest you get hold of jv16 Power Tools from www.jv16.org and run the registry cleaner. This will remove any orphan entries from you previous installation. Then reinstall.

to reinstall you will need to clean out all the old leftover norton files and reg entries. some files hide in werid places.......go looking ;-)
