I think I'm gonna throw my new PC out the window...

I'm prolly just being a technically challenged boob again, but after installing Microsoft Office 2007 and Norton 360 last night my all-in-one's combo drive won't work.

Could it be Norton? Help please? Anybody? Bueller?

What do you mean an "all in one" drive? For the various types of SD cards? Is it a USB item, is it something built into the computer? Have you checked your hardware listing to see if the driver has crapped out? Have you reinstalled the driver for the drive? Is the drive recognized and not working or not recognized by the computer at all?

Norton takes over a LOT of things on your computer, it could have effected your drive, but check your drivers first.

Get rid of Norton, it sucks......

If you need a security s/w go with Eset


I've been using their antivirus since 2004 and it rocks!!!!!

It's a slot disc drive and when I check my drives all that are listed is the hard drive and "Norton Backup Drive" Huh? What's that supposed to mean? The slot drive supposed to be a CD/DVD combo drive.

I bet Norton has caused you a lot of heartache...you might try uninstalling it and see if the problem is fixed.

Thanks I'll try eset. I got rid of Norton, there goes 50 bucks out the window. Driver still doesn't work. Crap. I bought hubby Flight simulator X for Christmas...

Reinstall the driver, download the new one from the internet and go from there. Its not hard, I'm sure you can do it.

Norton is bloatware in my book. I was using AVG for a while, but I encountered some problems with it, and Geek Squad found quite a few issues.

I've since been using Kaspersky, and have been very pleased with it. Seems to do its business without impeding my work at all.

I read "all-in-one's combo drive" as the combo drive (i.e. CD RW/ DVD) in an all in one computer, like an iMac, but running Windows.

That's correct. It doesn't recognize any media I try shoving into it since last night. It keeps telling there is no disc/DVD/whatever in the drive when there is.
The whole darn thing is three months old and last night was the first time I used te drive to load the software...

Nope, still won't recognize media. Scanned driver, report says it works fine. Ready to rip my hair out.

Norton is nothing more that a virus and spyware program
that will cause you nothing but problems unless you pay.
Been there, done that. Dump it.

This sounds as though the drive is not being recognized by the OS. That seems strange since you installed Office and Norton via the combo drive.

(I'm not sure how to correct that in Windows without a reinstall, but I'm not a WinGeek.)

How do you know? What system do you have in place that would detect any attempts that Avast might miss? (I'm not being critical of Avast; I don't believe any A/V app catches 100% of malware. That doesn't mean that Avast is or isn't one of the best options.)

I tried Avast when my Norton was giving me problems. Unfortunately, it slowed my computer down to a crawl, to the point where I had to uninstall it. Interestingly, when I uninstalled it, Avast popped-up a questionnaire asking me why I was uninstalling their product. One of their pre-written choices was something like "slowed my computer down too much" - so it's not like they're unaware of the problem. It's too bad, because I like their product, but if it makes my computer effectively useless, it's of no use to me.
