You first remove norton 2005 from add&remove software and installed 2006 it will work.

First go into BIOS, usually by pressing the Delete key while rebooting. Go to start up or boot devices and select your first boot device to your CD Rom. Put your Windows XP disk in the drive and reboot. From the options, do a repair.If that doesn't work, Try resetting your BIOS, usually a jumper on the motherboard, check the manual because they're all different.  If that doesn't work, Do a reformat and fresh install.\nIt sounds like a virus or trojon, so if you do get it up and going, without the reformat, do a complete scan with your antivirus software.

I am assuming this is a virus program, if so go to add and remove programs, delte the program and the in the menu area, go to run, then type in regedit, and remove any key in local machine and users, under the software tab, just left click on it, and hit the delte in the menu, then close out and restart your computer.\n\nIf theis a virus, try Nortons site and downoad the virus removal tool and sequence.

You have a failed installation due to the Windows MSI ... follow the instructions from Norton:

I disagree with the last answer - there is nothing wrong with Norton INternet Security 2004, in fact I wish had reformatted my pc and reinstalled my copy. You will get updates (virus definitions etc) for a year when you install it, although you will not get additional features released for the 2006 version. Nortons 2006 is a pain and often requires regsitry changes in order to get it to stop doing what it wants when you have asked it not to. \n\nian

There are several good things you can do that can really solve the problem,\n1)Try downloading a little easy and free program Spybot Search & Destroy, http://www.security-related.com/download2.htm , just click on the image to download, install and run the program, it s amazing cleaner and protective.\n2)if you have Windows XP, you may try to re start the computer in safe mode then run regedit and then search for the file and delete it.\n3)if you still having problems you may try formating the partition of the hard drive where the file is situated and then re instal windows.\nI advice you to get Norton Anti virus and to take care what websites u enter and not to download any program from internet, check your firewall if u have and your internet security and privacy settings to be set in safe ways.\nhope this will help u, good luck

Your best option is to run a repair on your XP installation.\nMake the CD the boot drive, put in you XP installation disk and follow the questions. Once the setup says it  discovered a previous version of Windows take the option of doing a Repair. This will over install your XP and maintain a lot of your setting's

I think it is a drastic step................if norton doesn't work..........then reinstalling  windows will do the job................this is because when you re-install an operating system...........your hard disk gets formatted..........gettin rid of all data including viruses. But make sure tat you dont have a comp with dual operating system...........the virus may reside in the partion of the hard disk of your secondary OS which wont be formatted during the installation.

Hello,\n     Well the first thing u need to do is get a Internet Security package from Bestbuy, Circuit City, ect..  Norton Internet Security 2007 is very good and does not use a lot of system resources.  What this product offers is a complete firewall, antivirus and spam features.  There is a ad and popup blocker seperate to download from Symantec.com  Once u run the installation program it will ask you to do a quick scan to see if there is anything that is going to interfer with the installation.  I have a Dell inspiron 1100 and I have a 40Gig Hard drive with 768MB of Ram.  I use Norton Internet Security 2007 and I have no problems with my system.  If you have any other questions, u can email me or write back on here and help u out.  Barry_Woodward1976@yahoo.com

If you are installing from an XP CD , and , if you can afford the trouble , boot your PC from the CD ( or a floppy disk) and completely reformat the disk when the XP installer asks you to.I assume you have tried virus removers such as Norton/Symantec etc.

Quick! Throw Norton in the wastebasket or give it back to whomever gave it to you. You will screw up XP if you try to run this. Been there - done that. You don't need Norton.

the best thing to do is firstly,- uninstall Norton then take the driver disk and place it under your coffee mug, then cut your losses and go buy an anti virus program that works. install that one and you will be fine........ a bit of a sarcastic answer i know and apologise but i just can't see how Norton are still going, although saying that- their backup program "ghost" is good but i think they have lost the edge on anti virus detection and the anti virus is very resource hungry...........just my opinion

Norton is not as good as they say, so get a good antivirus! And because free is always the best here you have some links:\nhttp://askcomputerexpert.ws43.com/download/
