windows XP problem

[spools.exe]

I'm sorry, the only norton problem that i've heard of that a problem with their 2001 version and XP. I just figured that that was his problem. Sorry slick8790 , its just one of those days.

To uninstall it i would recommend uninstalling it in Safe Mode. That might iliminate the error-message. Also remember to remove all of the Symantec products in Add/Remove. I pretty sure that there are about 3 or 4 of them.

This was an upgrade, and yes NAV did work before

Ok are/have you looking at the instructions that are included in the link I gave you before..?

Also, are you able to run task manager, ala ctl-alt-del, in normal mode? if not consider a "yaha" type virus.. DON'T ASSUME YOU HAVE A VIRUS .. not just yet.. I mention this so you will start to think about what actions were taken leading up to the problem with NAV..
Were you able to do the Definition update b4 the failure?
What programs did you install?
What programs did you run?
What System settings did you change?, ie What services did you turn OFF or ON
Did you open any emails?..especially b4 running the NAV liveupdate..


And as for you Spools.exe.. stay with us mate.. that is a simple and common error..live and learn..

I gotta go to work..

Cheers

Yes,I went through the same chaos and had to wait a few days before I recieved a reply from Symantec.

Most of the posts that are there state that they dislike Norton and Would Recommend "Pc Chillin or "AGV" which is free.

I would like to point out that the reason i post so much is because i have a lot of time on my hands at my job. I work at my local ISP, and when i don't have a call i'm usually browsing this site, doing what i can to help. I actually consider AO as a part of my job becuase i'm on it religiously.
