When you formatted C:, you removed NT(2000/XP) boot loader. Do following in your own risk, BACKUP before if you do this. Method 1 (easiest?): Do repair install for 2000. Then do repair install for XP. Method 2 (hard): You need diskette for this. Get Windows 98 SE boot image from http://www.bootdisk.com/ and create diskette from it. Create a Notepad file with the following entries, exactly as shown: L 100 2 0 1 N C:\BOOTSECT.DOS R BX 0 R CX 200 W Q Save this as READ.SRC to diskette. Plug the diskette out for now. Boot from XP CD. Enter recovery console. Execute these commands. (change CDROM with XP CD drive letter) copy CDROM:\i386\ntldr c:\ copy CDROM:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\ fixmbr fixboot C: bootcfg /rebuild First we copy NT boot loader files to C: Then we fix MBR and boot sector. Lastly we rebuild boot.ini file. When you rebuild the boot.ini, it should ask 1) load identifier and 2)OS load options. For 1) enter name of OS, for example if it is adding 2000 enter "Windows 2000" or "Windows XP" for XP. 2) This is /fastdetect for 2000 and XP. Now insert diskette. Execute: A:\DEBUG <READ.SCR Now, take CD and diskette out and type exit to reboot and cross your fingers...

Have you tried Last Known Good Configuration?

First check that you have KBDNO.DLL file in your System32 folder. If there is, then try merging these lines to your registry: --- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00000414] "Layout Text"="Norwegian" "Layout Display Name"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\input.dll,-5018" "Layout File"="KBDNO.DLL" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload] "1"="00000414" --- If you do not have the dll, you can download it from net. http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/K/kbdno.dll/5.1.2600.0/download.html

Quote: It will not let me run the norton uninstall tool. Why not? Does it give error message? Are you using administrator level account (not poweruser or limited)? Have you tried to create a new account and see if the same errors appear in it? If not, then you should be able to import your email settings and emails from old account to new account. Try rerunning the SymNRT.exe, either following these Symantec orginal instructions or tschrock's instructions.

ATI Mobility Radeon X300: * DirectX Level: DirectX 9 Should work. No promises, though.

Extract the files for example to "c:\directxfeb", then you can run the setup from there.* What graphics card you got? Have you tried that system requirements checker application? <edit> *(you did mean the directx february package?) </edit>

It should say: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904). And remember, you'll need DX9 support in your graphics card too. See this: http://sims2.servopro.com/sysreq.phtml You can also download System Requirements Checker from the same page.

If these accounts are regular users (non-administrators), then they should not be able to access folders (like folder in Documents and Settings) for other account. If this is not the case, then you can play with folder's NTFS permissions and allow/disallow rights for accounts.
