    ..ok, probably this is the WRONG place to post this and everyone will get upset .. ..so forgive me ! I've got this brend new ACER Aspire 5684WLMi Notebook with XP M.C. Everything workked smoothly for a few days, then 1 hr ago I installed the latest Norton Antivirus 2006 updates, rebooted and ...bang lost 90% of the notification tray icons !!!! (plus it takes far to much to complete boot) I even get a "Error 0" from Daemon Tools I did check the Events registry but found absolutelly nothing Does anyone have a idea of the reasons for such a strange behaviour ? Ciao Marco ps: this obvioussly is NOT a PROGRAMMING QUESTION !!

    ;)

            Yeah, removing NAV usually breaks Windows. You should format and use another AV. I'm quite happy with Avast[^], but sometimes it detects some false-positives.

                  I've only had NAV once when it came preinstalled on my laptop, once I reformatted and put a "proper" AV on I noticed Windows speeded up almost 3 fold :rolleyes:

                      >> Does anyone have a idea of the reasons for such a strange behaviour ? Norton Antivirus 2006 !!! There are many links how to fix it, but basically everything narrow to "Format, reinstall Windows and install AV" http://www.avast.com/[^]
