I recently installed Windows XP to replace Windows 98. At the time of
installation, the system told me to uninstall Norton Anti-Virus 2004
and Norton Internet Security 2004. I had bought both of these programs
as downloads from the Symantec site.

Despite following the directions to the "T", I cannot successfully
re-install Internet Security. I continue to receive an error message
telling me that it cannot find the Integrator.

I tried doing a clean boot, as directed on the Symantec online
technical assistance site. I tried removing all Symantec programs from
my hard drive (the two above plus WinFax Pro). I tried a new dowload
of both Norton programs from the Symantec site.

I am concerned about not having this program installed because of the
DSL line I use on my business computer.

I cannot reach Symantec by phone, even on the pay line. 

How do I get Internet Security properly installed?

Thank you,

Jeff Williams

Hi virginiaboy-ga,

I've located some documents and strategies that should fix your problem.

The first link is most likely the link you found on the Symantec
support site (Error: "Unable to start the Integrator. Please reboot
and try again. . . (1007,157)" when using the desktop icon to open the
product):
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sharedtech.nsf/docid/2003081114425513?Open&src=ap_hot&docid=2003030415184807&nsf=nsw.nsf&view=docid/2003030415184807?opendocument&src=ap_hot&prod=norton%20systemworks&ver=2004%20professional%20for%20windows%202000/me/98/xp&stg=2&base=www.symantec.com/region/reg_ap/techsupp/nsys&dtype=&prod=Norton%20SystemWorks&ver=2004%20Professional%20for%20Windows%202000/Me/9
8/XP&osv=&osv_lvl=

The Second document gives a few more strategies for dealing with the
problem... (After installing Norton SystemWorks 2004, the program does
not start, or appears briefly and then disappears without displaying
an error message):
http://service1.symantec.com/support/nsw.nsf/docid/2003030415184807?OpenDocument&src=ap_hot&prod=Norton%20SystemWorks&ver=2004%20Professional%20for%20Windows%202000/Me/98/XP&stg=2&base=www.symantec.com/region/reg_ap/techsupp/nsys/&next=nsw_2004_pe_search_solve.html&sone=nsw_2004_pe_tasks.html&tpre=ap

Basically, what the second documents says is that the failure to
install may be caused by a virus (or some other infection). That may
actually be the case here. There is a link to an online scanner that
should be able to find out if you do in fact have an infection on your
system. The link to the online scanner is:
http://security.symantec.com/default.asp?productid=symhome&langid=ie&venid=sym

Also, some more information that may help fix the problem...

Search your hard drive for "Symantec", "Norton", and "LiveUpdate" -
delete them and the entire directory they are in.

Click Start, then Run... and type "regedit" and click 'run'. Once in
the program, search for those same 3 items listed above and delete
them. However, be VERY CAREFUL!! Incorrectly editing your system
registry can permanently destroy your install of XP necessitating a
complete reformat and reinstall of Windows XP!

Once you completed the above steps, go ahead and re-install the
firewall and antivirus. It should work after manually deleting the
registry entries.

Also, for your knowledge, there are free versions of Antivirus and
Firewall. My favorites are:

Antivirus:
AVG - http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/

Firewall:
ZoneAlarm - http://www.zonealarm.com

Hope this helps. If you require clarification on this answer, please
ask prior to rating and closing the question.

Thanks!
