Thanks Dean, but still no go.
I tried repair, I tried removal and reinstalayion, I removed kazaa and all the programs it identified with it like P2P networking and did the above again - no go.
It occured to me that the Norton vius checker did a software update so I disabled norton and tried reinstalling, still no go. Any other ideas? with Norton off I get the following in a fault window, does it mean anything?
ACLT caused an invalid page fault in
