Add Network Location. IE x86 and IE x64. Settings in Guest account.

Hello!
1. Windows Vista x64 shows an error message
"Add Network Location
The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another."
after clicking Next in "Specify the location of your website
Type the address of the website, FTP site, or network location that this
shortcut will open" window.
The folder is http://files.akado.ru/slide/files/51796441/home/
I can add the Network Location in Windows XP by doing the same.
Norton Internet Security 2008 is installed.
The account is administrative.
2. IE x86 crashes during opening a page when IE x64 is open.
3. Windows does not allow to turn on the language bar and input a switch
language keyboard shortcut in Guest account: it turns language bar and
shortcut off after clicking "Apply".
Sincerely,
Dima

Norton is likely causing your problem.
Replace Norton with the free AVG http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html, and Windows Firewall and Windows
Defender. Disabling Norton is not enough. You need to completely uninstall
it. If it doesn't solve the problem, get rid of Norton anyway. Norton is
known to cause many problems which don’t always appear immediately.
Download and run the Norton Removal Tool.
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...05033108162039

It's called "360" because Symantec's goal is complete ownership of your
computer, and with even less communication about what it's trying to do or
ways to configure it than ever before (which would only interfere with its
goal.) That, along with Symantec's famous technical support, makes Norton
360 a disaster that I would only install on Granny's computer if she was
going to disinherit me.

Thanks Bob for replying!
The same Norton Internet Security does not cause the problems on Windows XP
Pro installed on my second HDD.

What does that have to do with the problem in Vista x64?

Re: Add Network Location. IE x86 and IE x64. Settings in Guest account.

How can Norton Internet Security 2008 cause the problems with a guest
account in Windows Vista x64?
If Norton Internet Security 2008 does not cause the problems on Windows XP
Pro then it's likely that it does not cause the problems on Windows Vista
x64 too, then it's Windows Vista x64 can't work with other programs well.
