Instalation of Norton Internet Security Anti Spyware 2005 failed.
Norton recommends:
clean out Temp file. - didn't help
check to see if Task Manager is working. - If I set Task Manager to start
Calculator (for example) on system start-up, then reboot, Task Manager says
Calculator is running, but it is not.

Do you think I am going to have to reinstall my operating system?

Nope. Do not install any Norton/Symantec software.

I agree totally Sir Detlev and have been doing so for years. However,
wasn't it you who gave me his life story links to reconsider my replies?

Yes, I gave you his life story links and no, you shouldn't reconsider
your replies.  

XOXO,

Wow, you are good, Sir Detlev!  )
And ok, will stick to my norm.
But am just a bit curious as to why you have swayed.
