Years ago I uninstalled my Symantec antivirus software & since then
successfully have been using McAfee. A week ago, I set up a Brother
MFC-5440CN printer/fax/copier/scanner & installed the MFC-5440CN MFL-ProSuite
software/driver(s). Now every time I start up my Dell 8200 the following
error message appears:
16 Bit Windows Subsytem c:\Program~1\Symantec\S32EVNT1.DLL. An installable
Virtual Driver failed Dll initializaition. Chose Close to terminate the
application.
There is a choice of buttons: Close or Ignore.
If I close, I can continue, but the computer operates very sluggishly; if I
ignore, the sluggishness is there and the error message pops up frequently
necessitating my clicking on ignore.
I understand that the reference to the Program~1\Symantec may be a hold over
in the registry from my uninstalling the Symantec antivirus software...even
though a file search using the word symantec turns up nothing.
Question: How can I eliminate the error message from appearing?
Question: To do so, must I eliminate/delete something in the registry? If
so, can someone provide me with a novice's step by step to do so.
Question: Did the error message first appear because of the printer hardware
connection (USB)? Or did the error message appear because of the printer
software installation?
I'd prefer not to have to "restore" my system to the day before the
printer/software installation, as it's been about a week and there's other
info in the system that I'd hope to avoid "reentering."
Thanks for any advice/direction/help.
