another ?? Bubba...now that i've read the info for the MS windows cleanup, I would just like to clarify the following: I just uninstalled Norton System Works following their instructions online, and they recommend that after removing NSW from Add/Remove Programs, the Registry, program folders, etc. I should run the MS installer cleanup. Is it safe in your opinion to run this cleanup program, and then I can go ahead and do a fresh install of NSW without any problems?? Again, many thanx for ur help.

What I will caution you about is to make sure you only have the Norton System Works Installed Products entry highlighted before you select Remove. Another words....any entries highlighted will be removed.

Let us know how it goes :o
