It has taken me weeks to get to this point either from travel or sheer fear of following through with the Norton uninstall process. I have done it ...as of this afternoon I am free of Norton and I am a new man. The uninstall worked famously, it didn't touch Partition Magic (my biggest fear) and my computer is once again the flaming bolt it was before. I am using AVG now, no Ghost...Erunt is my backup method (although I have NEVER had to restore a system..Lucky), and I thank you all for your help. Especially Patio who I INSULTED by doubting his advise ("it is only advise") and may again. This forum is terrific for an old computer dude and you guys are super. THANKS and in the word of Arnold, "I will be back".Sorry for the running post but I needed to tell EVERYONE that a big video software conflict I have been having trouble with was solved by the Norton Uninstall. Now I can edit mpeg 2 files WITHOUT getting a Window Explorer error message. All those who may be having media problems may find a norton un-install the answer. I have been on the phone with Dell, SONIC, Sony and Roxio for more than a week only to discover Norton is the culprit. Norton Uninstall does un-install Ghost but it can be reinstalled, but does NOT touch Partition which most of you guys knew already. Sorry, sometimes we rookies have to learn the hard way, experience is the best teacher.As this issue appears to be resolved, I am closing this topic.
