    XP shut down problems after reinstall

    Just did a reinstall of XP and everything is working fine except a problem of shut down.
    It will not shut down / restart on its own and I get a message
    " is is safer to shut down now"
    Any help to fix this will be appreciated.

    Go to control panel > power options.On the APM tab,if you have one,tick "Enable Advanced Power Management support." Then click apply.

    Now try and shutdown.

    Have you tried the corporate version of NAV? Also you might give McAfee a shot. Or you could go the freebie route and get AVG at the site below:

    Just some ideas.

    Thanks again > I have tried all versions but they just fail to load. I am using McAfee but loved Norton when it was functioning.

    Have you trying installing Norton again after you re-installed XP?
    If you still have problems I would suspect that your copy of Norton is not good, and for that reaosn is not working.
    I had to fix once a problem, where an instalation of Norton got stuck in the rebooting and that completely messed up the registry. For example, I could install Norton again without it detecting there was already Norton running. And if I went to the control panel>Add/Remove programs nothing would be listed there
    That was a problem from Norton that gave this person an update for Norton, when he needed the full product.
    Anyway, it shoudl install well now in your PC, right?

    Just in case, create a restore point. So if the instalation goes worng, you can roll it back
