Posted: 07-28-2006, 02:49 PM
Ok i have been a little dumb here. I installed vista ultimate without reading
the fine print and not i´m in a fix. I had Norton anti-viris installed on my
pc when i updated from XP Pro and of corse it dosn´t work but that aint the
prob. How do i uninstall norton coz when i try through control manager it
says only works with xp, blah blah blah. So do i roll back to Xp uninstall or
is there another way
Thanks if you can help

On the website from Symantec you can search for a uninstall tool colled RNAV.EXE
that should do the uninstall.

I cannot gauranty it works under Vista.

If that fails, you can also search for the manual uninstall. That often is
the only way to get rid of it.

The only known way to remove it is to reformat and reinstall Vista. It
looks like you used the upgrade XP option when you installed Vista. This
has often been problematical. Your best option is to either use a
separate disk for Vista or at least a separate partition. In the last
few days there have been several posts here on how to install Vista in
an optimal way.

There is no "rollback" to XP from Vista. You did not install a new
screen-saver. You over-wrote your operating system. The only way back to
XP is to reformat the partition and reinstall, naturally taking all of your
documents out as well. Try to use Kol's idea for uninstalling Norton.
