Luke: after all your work, you don't want to hear this, but...

when you get mucked up by a program; the usual technique is to reinstall it and then 
uninstall it;
the uninstall sequence should start with the Norton uninstaller,
followed by use of the Add/Remove Programs utility.

if you don't believe that will do the job, then buy a Uninstaller utility and put 
it in place before you reload the Norton.
if you do, let the Uninstaller monitor all your program installs so that it can do 
a proper job of tracking all system changes.

another benefit of such a utility is that you can use it to find files that are otherwise 
very difficult to track; and it will advise you about any dangers associated with 
the removal of any particular file.

I've tried to clean out the registry with RegCleaner, tried to alter Startup commands >at configsys, and tried to remove NORTON from startup with DOS commands but none >have worked yet. > >Can someone please help? > >Thanks. > >
