After running norton antivirus, my video driver was disabled. When I
tried to reinstall I got an "Access Denied" error. has anyone dealt
with this and how did you get passed this error? I'm seeing really bad
scrolling when reading documents and I need to reinstall the driver

Yes, get rid of Norton Antivirus and use something less intrusive, like
AntiVir.

How do Norton continue to sell software with the amount of problems it
causes? I seen it so many times.....

I haven't touched any of their products since I used a "disk
optimisation" program on a Windows 95 machine years ago. It optimised
it by corrupting *every* .EXE and .COM file on the disk. The newsgroup
messages I regularly see with problems related to their products don't
make me want to try them again.

Same way Microsoft does. He with the biggest ad budget wins.

I wouldn't get rid of Norton - any access denied error is a question of
rights. Are you logged in as an Administrator, or a use with Administrator
privlidges?? That should take care of that.

I guess I'm lucky - I have zero problems with my Norton Products....

I also have zero problems with my Norton products and continue to
install and recommend Systemworks (Norton Utilities & Antivirus).

I do, however, think that as a general rule Symantec tends to buy
products, neglect them and "milk" them for cash flow. I really use and
need WinFax, but it hasn't been updated in about 4 years (since before
XP came out) and there are lot of problems with it in a modern XP system.

Whew - SystemWorks is one I wouldn't stand behind.... What a resource
hog...However, it does solve some issues. I guess when I think of
"Norton", I just think of 'Anti-Virus' and recently "Internet Security"

I'll say this though - Norton Ghost was the ONLY program capable of truly
cloning an XP drive and moving it onto a bigger drive.... Big props for
that...

Are you referring to Ghost 8 or to Drive Image 7, which is now called "Ghost
9"?
