Computer has stopped working properly after a Norton updated.

Yesterday, my computer did a update of Norton, and since then I can't use my computer.  I double click on an icon & it just "chew" and does nothing.   Then I try & press "CTRL/ALT/DELETE" to stop this & nothing happens.  Or, other times I double click on an icon and nothing happens.   Rebooted the computer several times & still nothing.  I have Windows XP.  I want to just bring the computer back to 2 days ago & everything goes back to how it was.

What Norton product and version do you use?

You can try the system restore to go back a few days. But first you need to disable the product Tamper Protection Norton.

  • computer does not work properly after the update, because the screen is black.

    Advice please! :-(

    After an update there about 2 months, my computer has never worked properly after that I turned it back. My windows start page is longer there. My screen is black. The words are only in white and fluorescent yellow...

    The only way I can go online to find Norton (is always at the bottom of the black screen) and go to help. I can get a search bar like that. Almost as if this black screen hides everything below.  Computer is 13 months old.

    My internet provider says it isn't them. Gateway said it's not my computer so idk what happened after this update.

    Any advice would be so appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hi Patty,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I would be grateful if you can answer these questions.

    1. You have installed the latest drivers for Windows 8?
    2. What is the model number for Gateway computer?

    If you get a black screen after upgrade to Windows 8, it might be due to an outdated or incompatible graphics card driver. Update to the latest version of the display driver should fix this.

    Try to remove all external devices connected to the computer and then try to start the computer and check if it works. Follow these methods and check if that helps:

    Method 1: To resolve this problem, update the Gateway website. video card driver

    Step 1: Check out these Microsoft items for additional reference:

    Download and install the drivers

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/all-drivers

    Step 2: If you are not able to find drivers for Windows 8 to HP support. Try to install the graphics drivers in compatibility mode and check:

    Download your applications and devices in Windows 8.1

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/get-apps-devices-working

    If the problem persists, proceed to the next method.

    Method 2: I suggest to follow the suggestions provided in this Microsoft KB article and check if this can help:

    Question

    Resolution

    • Engine PX Roxio/Sonic Solutions, is what allows to burn and compatibility of optical media such as CDs and DVDs.
    • An update of PX engine guarantees full compatibility with the latest players and media.
    • Each new version of the PX engine is backward compatible with all previous versions of the Sonic Software and most of the Roxio software.

      Here is a list of compatible software titles:

    So, it is a fake website, or is it ok? I'm a little worried, because I have a small Toshiba laptop with no CD/DVD-ROM. And to be honest, a few weeks ago I bought a Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus and had problems with the installation. Since then, I got the blue screen twice by saying me serious error. So, would be - that or else, I need to be aware of?

    Thanks in advance!

    ImgBurn does not use the PX engine,

    However other software may install it.

    For example, Winamp can install if you do not uncheck 'Sonic Ripping/ardent support' under 'Media engine' during installation

    I would say that it is safe to install the PX engine update if you're headed there by Windows Error Reporting.

    We could create a system first Restore Point.

    However, the PX engine update is unable to solve the problem.

  • Office Pavilion Elite HPE message: AMD/ATI Video Driver has stopped working properly

    I have a Windows 7 Desktop HPE-410y, this morning, that the flag of the action center was at the bottom of the screen.  I clicked on it and there was a message: AMD/ATI Video Driver has stopped working properly.  He also said I should click on a link for a solution to this problem, but of course when I made the site of HP said that the page does not exist.

    Maybe say if you have in fact noticed nothing else Action Center indicator would be useful.  If it seems to you that the computer was OK and run satisfactorly, then perhaps he had already solved the problem.  Usually reviews can occur if a program did unexpected things and crashed the video driver, then the driver recovered.

    HP site can be set to an old page.  The real driver has not been updated recently on the HP site.
