Sorry, I'm not in the know enough for helping here. However, I'm in the know
enough for understanding that Norton is the worst conglomerate of software
I've ever come across. I believe 50% of PC problems I've been pointed to
were related to it, including a lot which Windows was blamed for. Since
then, I keep as farther from Norton stuff as I can.

Subject: Another stupid computer question
So, I have this really high strung Windows box, and every now and again it
does something completely inexplicable.
It's latest is on boot-up, it decides it can't start the video card:
Code 10, device cannot be started
And the card runs in VGA mode.
Sometmes rebooting the computer will solve it, more often than not I have
to uninstall the driver and reinstall it.
Now, the specifics:
It is an ASUS motherboard with an ASUS (Nvidea) graphics card, and the
problem started immediately after installing Norton antivirus (which I
have come to despise).
What I'm thinking is that Norton created a file with the same name as one
of the Nvidea driver files and so the wrong file is picked up on boot and
causes the card to crash.
I've done some searching for this, and have been in touch with both Asus
and Symantec (both of whome blame the other company but won't go farther
than that).
Any ideas on how to solve this?
I can't find any files in the system32 directory that look like they might
be causing the problem. If I can get the machine to boot, it runs just
fine.
Thanks
William Robb
