Here's my personal experience. First of all are you trying to install an older version of Norton with a newer version of Windows ..?? When I changed over to XP - I had to buy a 2004 version of Norton.

Also .. Whenever I delete or add any software - I always run defrag. I've found it makes the transition to new software much easier and less problematic. After I delete the software - I run defrag - then after I reinstall the software - I run defrag.

Thanks, I'll write that down too. I'm making a list of things that are being suggested for me to do. I will follow them to the letter.

How long does it take to run defrag on a 160GB 7200 RPM drive?

What's FAR more important than running a defrag at that time (unless you're deleting MASSIVE files) is to clean your system registry.

For that purpose, I have found nothing better than System Mechanic.
