A friend has recently installed a version of norton antivirus on his
laptop...win xp oem.
he messed up the installation and now cannot run xp correctly.
when you try right-clicking on "my computer" and click on the
properties tab you get a rundll32.exe error so changing the ambient
variables becomes difficult or untouchable...
the same thing occours when you try from start,settings etc...you get
a rundll32.exe error.
cmd.exe will not start at all, I tried it in its folder etc. but
nothing runs.
regedit wont start either.
when I hit start run and type %systemroot% I get c:\windows as per
normal
when I hit start run and type %path% I get an error listing the usual
system paths of c:\windows\System32;c:\windows;c:\windows\System32\Wbem;c:\programmi.
now I'm guessing that the full stop "." may be messing things up but
thats a wild guess...does anyone know how to change the system path or
rather %path% variable under these conditions?
please note that a lot of the win32 applications work ok on the same
laptop you just have to go to the program folder and double-click on
the executable...the norton installation is half working half
not...you cant un-install because you get the rundll32.exe error again
when you attempt to do so.
