Nope, nothing Norton. So far everyone that has mentioned Norton products to me in the last few months have had something bad to say about it. So I stay away from it. Believe it or not, as a "computer guy", I tend to be very slow to adopt new SW simply due to problems. Features are no where near as important to me as stability, and that's why I stick with Win2k w/SP2 -- it's the cleanest Win OS I've found so far. Other machines get Linux.

This sounds like Norton anitvirus or some norton product trying to run. Did you install and then remove any norton product in the last few days. I had system works installed and when i removed it from my computer it cause my windows directory to become corrupted and I had to reformat my hard drive and reload one mr gates favorite windows varities.
