Vista - Windows Security Centre

I have recently been unable to log on so sorry for not saying anything for a
few days. A day after installing my norton antivirus my computer would not go
onto windows and said that it was corrupt so I have had to install windows
vista all again and install all of my programs as well. A nightmare!

Hi PWD. You could try this.

Right-click Command Prompt and Run as Administrator (this is important), as
you have done before. Type (or Copy and
Paste) the following commands, pressing Enter after each one:

net stop winmgmt

cd %windir%\system32\wbem

ren repository repository.old

net start winmgmt

After doing these four commands, close Command Prompt. The commands will
force WindowsManagement to rebuild the Repository. Restart your computer.

Dan,

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you are up and running again now. That Norton has been messing up everything on Vista.
