Nis Won't Install ?

Hi,

Just tried to install Norton Internet Security 2004 Pro. on my laptop but
It won't finish the installation properly!!! :angry:
It seems to install ok then it asks to reboot (to which I say yes)
Then It gets stuck on the Windows loading screen :angry:
Then I have to Load Windows on "Last known working settings" then it loads windows ok but says that NIS hasn't installed properly and I should un-install it!

Now I know this program works ok ;) cos I have it installed on my comp.
So I just can't work out why it won't work on my laptop?

Any Ideas???

Cheers!

is it pirated? ;)

Whats the difference with the Corporate edition to the normal Pro edition?

Corporate is known to be much better. A lot less prolems, but I would avoid norton&#39;s software completely if I were you. NIS slow down internet connections, and causes problems like this for TONS of people. It uses too many system resources on top of all that. Norton&#39;s antivirus doesn&#39;t even catch all that much.

You want internet security? Get a router, just tweak your system, and get an antivirus worth having.
NOD32
AVG

Thanks XERO

avg has a free version, no idea bout teh other though...

AVG has an excellent free edition (6.0), as well as a very nice full subscription version (7.0).
NOD32 is my choice for now, and is not free, but has a trial version.

But, also, if you want to see what NOD32 looks like, you can check out Error&#39;s awesome stand-alone scanner HERE. It&#39;s only meant to clean a system, and not fully protect it.

BTW, for system tweaking, I haven&#39;t seen a program better than X-Setup


Some other sites, if your interested.
RegSeeker - Some tweaking, but mostly registry cleaning.
BlackViper&#39;s Site can show you how to speed up your system without programs
XP-Antispy is just plain good.

Thanks alot

No problem.

Don&#39;t suppose anyones got a ED2K e-mule link to NOD32? ;) ;) ;)

:lol:
Well, I don&#39;t use e-mule, but maybe Suprnova has what you are looking for.

I&#39;m kind of into torrents mostly.

Thanks again Xero&#33;&#33;

:tank: :tank:

Once, again, no problem. :lol:
