Hi, When I boot up my computer, I get a message reading "WHILE INITIALIZING DEVICE VKD/WINDOWS PROTECTION ERROR "Y". What's this mean,
then I get "System.INI" also this D:\Program"1\Norton'1\NSS.SPDSTART.VXD. What's all this mean? Thanks for the help,Jim

The "VKD" error message relates to your keyboard (KB). You may unplug and replug the KB firmly. If the message appears frequently, consider to replace your KB.
The other message relates to your Norton program which might have failed to be uninstalled or interupped while being installed. Probably you get this message after the Windows logo but before the desktop. If this is the case, you need a Registry editing (regedit) to fix it.
Please let me know by posting further information.
