Thread Name: Tech: Internet Connection Freezes my 'Puter
Subject: RE: Tech: Internet Connection Freezes my 'Puter
I was recently reinstalling a dual platform (ME and Win2000) and I tried downloading the latest Norton program into Win ME. The Norton Internet Security froze everything up solid. I used Ghost (another fine Norton product) to put my system back the way it was before (one OS).
My computer came with ME and that is where there are several resident programs for my hardware. With my dual platform the Win2000 doesn't run the DVD player with movies, and I find the ME version of Adaptec more user friendly than the Nero I have installed on Win2000. Anyway, I know what you mean about the frozen stuff. I have stashed a copy of the ME program on my spare hard drive and will one of these days consider setting up the second platform. But I have to thaw that darned Norton mess before taking it anywhere.
Uninstall the Norton if at all possible, try another virus program. I had no problems with any other Norton products except this one in particular.
