In May, I was having problems with Windows XP Professional services
disabling. It would be working fine and then the next time I turned it on, I
didn't have any sound, no printer, etc. I was using Norton Internet Security
at that time and it was happening very often. I would have to go in and
manually re-enable everything each time this happened. Something caught my
attention one day, I don't remember what, but I noticed that with Norton
Internet Security disabled, it didn't happen. I uninstalled Norton and it was
almost time for a new subscription so I purchased ZoneAlarm Internet
Security. I haven't used any Norton products since then except Norton
Systemworks 2004 Professional but not the virus software. I haven't had any
trouble with my services disabling since then. Okay, just about three days
ago, I installed Norton GoBack and guess what. Since that installation, my
services have already completely disabled three times just like when I was
running Norton Intenet Security. I have gone to their support site and can't
find anything about it. I have updated as far as I can and nothing has
helped. The only thing I knew to do was uninstall Norton GoBack. I hate
Windows System Restore! It's nothing but a pain either! If I can't use Norton
Goback, is there another product out there that does the same thing that you
would recommend? I uninstalled Norton GoBack and everything was fine for
maybe 24 hours. But, then today, out of the blue, the same thing happened.
Most of my services have been disabled. So, apparently Norton wasn't the
cause but was making it worse. This seems mighty strange to me. If anyone has
any ideas, I sure appreciate them! Thanks! Jones
