| 884648 | 2010-05-14 01:30:00 | By the sounds of it, Norton screwed your OS. Its a common problem. When you mentioned "norton ghost" - that is usually part of a package, that along with the comment before about the PC starting up faster than it used to would indicate Norton had failed, and ususlly when that happens it takes out system files and causes all sorts of other problems as well. (including the problem you are having) In my previous post I mentioned a customers stuffed Vista, Just got back- they had Norton Internet Security 2009 installed, it was stopping the system from getting even to the point that yours did. After booting their PC from a CD I have, disabled Norton from starting and instantly it booted. Then had to remove the software & repair the damage it had caused. Sometimes, if a system gets too damaged, the only option is to reinstall it, as no amount of fixing will ever get it going correctly again.. |

| 884650 | 2010-05-14 01:38:00 | so it was a matter of time before this happend (with norton ghost installed)? it stengthens my theory that nortons is usless. i dont know why i gave in |

| 884651 | 2010-05-14 01:45:00 | Well we don't know what extras may have come with your downloaded Norton do we? | Sweep (90) | ||
| 884652 | 2010-05-14 01:51:00 | no but i have never had issue with viruses when downloading (only ocasionally i download). i really just think this problem is a vista fault. i recon it can be fixed | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 884653 | 2010-05-14 01:55:00 | Well you could be there forever trying to fix it. So, either: 1. Follow post 17 until the stickykeys thing works. 2. Connect the hdd to another system, copy the files you want, then format 3. Find the Vista DVD and try and repair it 4. Dont install Nortons again |

| 884654 | 2010-05-14 01:57:00 | When a customers PC is screwed to the extent yours appears to be, I advise them that a backup and reinstall is the best option. There may well be a fix for your issue, then again there may not. I know you are reluctant to reinstall, and won't want to hear this, but reinstalling is the best option in my opinion (and Wainuitechs as well it would appear) |
