Then what I did was simply to reboot in safe mode (when you reboot you hit F8 just before windows shows the starting progress) and well do the system restore in safe mode then reboot and everything is suppose to be all right. I think this has definitely something to do with Norton and shet... <BR /><BR />Without having an intention to defy our friend quackers here I would otherwise tend to strongly suggest to let the system restore ON, cause sometimes it can just save your life without so much worries.<BR /><BR />Let me know what happens for you.<BR /><BR />Cheers-<BR /><BR />William<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:08:50 GMT https://community.sony.sk/t5/pcs-accessories/system-restoreand-norton/m-p/18005#M58810 william17 2008-08-15T23:08:50Z Re: system restoreand norton! https://community.sony.sk/t5/pcs-accessories/system-restoreand-norton/m-p/18006#M58811 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>found away around this problem untick enable firewall for norton making sure your not connected to internet and then do system restore when complete enable firewall. then carry on as normale<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 17 Aug 2008 16:23:03 GMT https://community.sony.sk/t5/pcs-accessories/system-restoreand-norton/m-p/18006#M58811 bedwell 2008-08-17T16:23:03Z Re: system restoreand norton! https://community.sony.sk/t5/pcs-accessories/system-restoreand-norton/m-p/18007#M58812 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.sk/html/@4D7C97FD8435BC5F6F42C999D01DAE43/images/smilies/026.png" alt=":cool:" title=":cool:" /> Glad you found a solution... <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.sk/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 17 Aug 2008 20:20:12 GMT https://community.sony.sk/t5/pcs-accessories/system-restoreand-norton/m-p/18007#M58812 Thalamus. 2008-08-17T20:20:12Z Re: system restoreand norton! https://community.sony.sk/t5/pcs-accessories/system-restoreand-norton/m-p/18008#M58813 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><PRE __jive_macro_name="quote" class="jive_text_macro jive_macro_quote"><img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.sk/html/@4D7C97FD8435BC5F6F42C999D01DAE43/images/smilies/026.png" alt=":cool:" title=":cool:" /> Glad you found a solution... <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.sk/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /><BR /></PRE><BR /><BR />That makes two of us <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.sk/html/@0248C33DDCF34AA61B8F8F33F5AFA5BE/images/smilies/013.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 Aug 2008 01:43:42 GMT https://community.sony.sk/t5/pcs-accessories/system-restoreand-norton/m-p/18008#M58813 william17 2008-08-19T01:43:42Z
