I was able to delete two of the entries in the registry:
HKLM/ Software/ System/ ControlSet001/ Services/ eeCtrl
" " ControlSet002/ Services/ eeCtrl


The error in eventvwr.msc disappeared.

There is still other symantec residue in the registry, but don't appear to create any malfunctions.

Delete it to the max or leave the other entries that refuse to get deleted there?

If the error has gone and the PC runs well, leave it because the PC won't run any differently if you do delete anything else

There is another error I haven't been able to fix.
I cannot get youtube videos to load, even after installing macromedia, and the WMP installer fails to work.

Using WMP 10
It works fine, but when I try to update it
the next button in the update installer window does not work,
tried to download WMP 11 to see if problem disappeared but also
ran up to the same problem the next button in the installer windowfails
to get pressed.
