John,

I'm pleased to read that you managed to fix the problem. I would now very
strongly urge you to clear the C:\_RESTORE folder as explained in my
previous post otherwise you are likely to hit the same error next time the
wininit.ini mechanism is invoked by an update. I think you will find that
there are currently over 32,000 items in the C:\_RESTORE\TEMP folder,
perhaps even 64,000 (I can't remember the trigger number).

Renaming wininit.ini to wininit.old did the trick - and yes, once I
got it up and running one of the first dialog boxes to come up was
Norton saying that an update hadn't completed. Thanks ever so much,
