The only kernel panics I ever had after PB were caused directly by my being stupid enough to install Norton. It's not just useless (Drive 10 qualifies for that), but positively dangerous to your computer.<br><br><br><br>Great wits are sure to madness near allied.--John Dryden, "Absalom and Achitophel"

That reminds me of everything ever produced by M$, except the new patches don't kill Norton... <br><br>"If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something. "
there is also .. knowing [censored] about Norton.<br>#1.. never use Norton to fix anything.<br>#2.. only use it to find damaged files.. it does that well.<br>#3.. Keep Norton Speed Disc, handy, it is very useful.<br>#4.. otherwise .. never open Norton<br><br>hroom

I agree about the Speed Disk. But never ever even think about installing Norton Utiltiies. There's no point anyway, since to use it you have to boot from the CD anyway.<br><br><br><br>Great wits are sure to madness near allied.--John Dryden, "Absalom and Achitophel"
