re: getting rid of symevnt.386 boot message Thursday, August 28, 2003 at 5:43 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by matt nichols (1 messages posted) I tried your fix for the symevnt.386 error and it remained. Instead of building a catapult for my computer I tried going into msconfig.exe and unchecked the line for norton in the file, that fixed the problem!!!
