Slow boot with norton antivirus

[Ian]

After installing norton anti virus 2003 the system takes
about 2 mins to boot fully. I tried disabling ccRegVfy
and ccApp but still occurs. The only way to make it boot
normally is disabling Symantec Event Manager but then
anti virus is disabled. I looked in the event viewer but
no problems are shown. Would be gratefull for any help.

Tell it not to scan the drive upon boot-up.

It boots to desk top ok but hard drive does not react any
more untill about 2 mins have passed.

In response to Bill Crocker's answer - I have Norton Internet Security 2004
and have the same problem as Ian; however, I can't seem to find any way to
"tell it not the scan the drive upon boot-up", as suggested. Any ideas? We
are VERY slow starting up since upgrading to NIS2004.

Thanks,
H.

WHAT?? What has a voltage setting got to do with clock frequency??

 

[Ian]

Had to increase cpu core voltage to compensate for higher
clock frequency. AMD 2500XP running at 3200XP speed.

I have exactly the same problem (symevent.sys finally completes the boot after 73.1 seconds), and I'm not overclocked. Can anyone advise please??
