4.5 yr old WINME w/Pent III 800 Mhz 512 RAM - After successfully
downloading/installing IE 6 over IE 5.5 this morning, I tried to download
Norton Antivirus 2005 and download failed and can't open Norton - but that's
Symantec's problem. However, this evening I tried to create a "System
restore" point and an error box states I can't and to reboot - but after
rebooting, still can't create a System Restore point. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Johnn9

This problem is almost certainly related to your decision to attempt to
install Norton on an ME PC - which is tantamount to murder!

The probability is that the following will fix it -
Close all programs
Go to Start|Run
type

SCANREG /FIX

click OK (or hit the [Enter] key)

Reboot on request

If you have Norton's "Go-Back" and did not disable it or remove it, you
won't be able to use System Restore. (And you may not be able to use
Go-Back either.)
