hi guys.
when i start my computer i get a message saying"There is a error in your CONFIG.SYS on line 5, does anyone know how to fix this?
also i cant get norton to enable auto protect,i have reinstalled it a couple of times but still wont enable. does this have anything to do with that error on line 5?
of course any help will be greatly appreciated

Open "Notepad" and click "File" at the top left of the screen and click "Open" browse to 'c:\config.sys' and open it. Copy and paste the contents of the file back here for analysis. Also have you installed any new hardware lately, or made any changes to your pc or maybe even installed new software? Any details will help alot.

okay,i recently swaped my samsung cdr/rw drive for a sony dvdr/rw. i believe thats when i started to get the error messages.anyway heres that thing you asked for
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\setver.exe

DEVICE=C:\SAMSUNG\SSCDROM.SYS /D:SSCD000 /v
i hope this helps

Does your sony cd rom work fine now? If so you can remove the samsung line from the config.sys file and save the file without it. This will remove the error, but I don't believe that it has to do with Norton AutoProtect. I'll find out some info on that, in the meantime just remove this line:
DEVICE=C:\SAMSUNG\SSCDROM.SYS /D:SSCD000 /v

Try autoprotect after that, but I don't think it's gonna help that.
