I have a small laptop that "locked up" halfway through installation of Nortin AntiVirus this AM.

Now, when I enter my username, it "locks up" when "Applying Personal Settings".

The only fix I have in mind involves formating the HD. Any better suggestions?

How about a BIG magnet?

What's the make?

Did you see the run in get fuzzy about the computer manufacturer "DULL" computers?

Have you tried going into Safe mode and remove NAV?

I'll give it a try tonight.

Wish I had a PC Guru here, and a drink.

Ah yes, good catch EyeChart.
That's a better thing to try.

I think he's asking if you saw the run (story arc) in the comic Get Fuzzy.
