Yes! Go to Run -> Type in Msconfig -> Go to the startup tab and click disable
all.

Hope it helps

if it doesn't there are some other methods

go to start all programs -> startup and remove all of the files in it.

What is the processor speed, and how much RAM is installed? NIS uses a lot of
resources, and you would want to have at least 512MB of ram, in spite of what
the NIS system requirements state. 256MB of ram is the absolute minimum that
you want on an xp system, and more is better.

Why would Norton Internet Security want resources if it has been
uninstalled?

Look in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for Warning and
Error Reports and post copies here.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, Event
Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding
Event ID, Source and
Description are important.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;enus;308427&Product=winxp

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message(email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report
complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the first paste
after exiting from Event Viewer.

Try Start, All Programmes, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to
Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Delete all
but the most recent Restore Point ( Start, Programs, Accessories, System
Tools, Disk Cleanup, More options). Run Disk Defragmenter by selecting
Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter.


Hope this helps.

It wouldn't, but no one said that it had been uninstalled.

You're right of course. I misread the message.
