This machine will not boot in normal mode. When I try to boot it up, I get the blue screen and it says something about a disk error, has a lot of information about memory dumping, and the text takes up the whole page.

It started when I tried to reinstall norton

I can only start in safe mode. I am unable to run a norton scan in safe mode.

I believe I have run out of options, please help!

It doesn't seem to be malware related. What is the version of the Operating System?

Thank you for your reply. Under computer properties, it says windows 7 starter, service pack 1. It was running a bit slowly, so I ran dskck and that is when the real trouble began. I tried to restore it to a restore point, that didn't work, I have had to uninstall my antivirus and re-install that. It is a real nightmare :-) Anyway, do you have any idea what could be the trouble, or do you have any advice as to what I should do next? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS!

Perform a Clean Boot and troubleshoot the Startup and Services items in your configuration until you have identified the entry that may be causing that issue. Here are the instructions.
