Norton 2007 + Windows XP + Unable to boot

Hello All,

I just spent over 30 hours with tech support trying to install Norton Systemworks 2007 on a e-machine running Windows XP. Now due to their terrible customer support, I can only boot in safe mode.

I’m a previous software engineer, but I’m not any good at hardware. Should I just go to circuit city and pay to have them fix it? Or does someone out there have some easy instructions for me.

Also there is a high pitch from something in the computer? Could this be the beginning of the end, so just replace the computer?

Thank you everyone, for any help.

Regards,

Irene
