Trying to fully remove Norton because I got rid of it a few weeks ago and now when I have a file sent to me via AIM (Aol IM), It goes through and then when it completes, a box with an error pops up telling me it can't find Norton blah blah blah (insert long string here).....so I figured I'd remove it and following a few online tips on how to successfully do this, I got to the point where I have to back up my system registry......it failed saying this exactly: Backup Status Operation: Backup Active backup destination: File Media name: "Backup.bkf created 6/26/2006 at 6:01 PM" Backup (via shadow copy) of "System State" Backup set #1 on media #1 Backup description: "Set created 6/26/2006 at 6:01 PM" Media name: "Backup.bkf created 6/26/2006 at 6:01 PM" Backup Type: Copy Backup started on 6/26/2006 at 6:04 PM.

Restoring this backup set will cause system failure. ---------------------- Just wondering as I am the admin with priveleges as far as I know, what can I do? Am I wrong at assuming that when I named myself the admin, all the permissions were to automatically be there for this scenario or do I have to initiate those permissions manually before doing something like this?
