NORTON 
Yeah, Mrs Slip, my wife saw the rebates in a Staples flier in September, thought it would be a cheap way to get the 2003 V. which of course (yeah, right) would be an improvement. We've been trying to get our systems straightened out ever since we installed it on all three machines- which took several tries.
Somehow they neglect to tell you about the conflicts the 2002 version causes when you try to uninstall it to install Norton 2003 -fragments of the '02 program get stuck in bizarre places and the only way to remove it completely is to go into your registry and delete 134 lines one by one to get it outta there (this from the Symantec site). And if you make a mistake...well, you get the picture.
We've also done a complete reinstall of the OS on one computer, replacing Win 98 with 2000, too.
Yup, we also have had major network problems ( we have 3 computers and move a lotta big files back and forth), have tried everything to resolve them with no luck, we're now working on a project on a very tight deadline that is being made 10x more difficult than it has to be...yada yada
And then the Linksys went belly up day before yesterday when we tried to install new firmware to get it to reset...and I can't find one for the $39 I've been seeing all winter, cheapest I've found is now $79 - it was my last resort, couldn't figure out what kept causing intermittent dropped connections - and yeah, you name it I've already tried everything I can think of that might be the cause.
Aw, nuts...if ya already got 2002 do what Beachwalker did, just download the updates, and don't even THINK about an uninstall.
Damn, even a good rant isn't helping
Well, it is the GOP forum, right?
