Don't void your warranty...take it back and have them fix it.

I ended up using my restore disks I made when I brought home the computer. (that doesn't void the warranty does it?) Then I downloaded the windows updates, etc. mozilla, and avg. each time rebooting. Started avg updates etc. set a system restore point. Made back up disks of everything else (nothing since I restored it to factory settings) then removed Norton with add-remove programs....rebooted twice, no problems. then I set another system restore point after the uninstall so I won't have to mess it up again.
Avg runs fine, shows up in security alerts as it should, and norton appears to be gone for good!!!!! Thanks For your reply...I didn't want to take it back right away and tell them I had the computer for 2 days and it already reboots in safe mode.... OOPS! Thanks This post has been edited by Sublimelyoblivious: Jun 22 2007, 09:18 AM |
