I have done an upgrade from Win 98 Se to XP home edition and have been having a few problems. After the system starts, I have problems starting my internet connection and Norton Antivirus programs. Norton is loaded on start up, but the icon in the system tray has a red X through it and does not engage for about a minute. My high speed internet connection will not start for that first minute either, if I try to connect, nothing happens. After about a minute, the harddrive goes through a flurry of activity and the X disappears from the icon for Norton and the internet connection window appears. Any idea what could be causing this? Funny thing is that I am able to open all of my other programs from my desktop during that first minute, Eudora, Explorer, My Computer etc.
I have tried to uninstall XP and start over, but I have since changed partition on my second harddrive and it will not uninstall. What is the most effective way to format my C: drive and do a completely new install?
Thanks for your help
