Can't help with the specifics of the problem but you may want to remove
Norton and see if anything changes. Norton's uninstall usually leaves
some residue on your hard drive so just running uninstall may not remove
the offending file. It's enough of a problem that Symantec has created
a removal tool to get rid of everything. You can find info on it here...

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
