Blue Screen of Death in XP with Norton

I have a Dell with XP and SP2.

I installed a Linksys Firewall router.
The router came with a install disc with
a trial Norton Internet Security 2004.

I figured I would check it out and install.

Bad things happened after that.

Soon after boot - the blue screen of death appears,
and I get "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA"
and/or "Stop: 0x00000008e". It then re-boots,
or stays in blue screen.

I tried running in safe mode - it works but I cannot
add/remove programs in safe mode.

If I try to add/remove in regular - I cannot do it
because of quick blue screen, or when I get to
the add/remove - I get a "cannot run DLL" message
and it does not let me do it.

Any ideas? Symantec website offered no solution.

THANKS

 

or, in safe mode try going to start -- > run -- > 'msconfig' without quotes, and then go to the startup tab, try and find anything relating to norton and uncheck it, it may be crashing upon execution of the norton utilities.

i know there were conflicts with norton and XP service pack 2, but im not sure which version it was that there was a problem, so updating it should really fix everything, but if that doesn't work you can always try this, get into windows, and then remove it if needed.

good luck
