Hi,

I've install Symantec Endpoint MR5 and after the first restart, I've lost the Windows login screen (CTRL - ALT - DEL).

The computer is a IBM ThinkPad T60 and I run Windows XP SP2.

All the Windows update have been done (whitout SP3) and no Virus is on the computer because I've update and run a full scan before restarting the computer.

Someone ever see a problem like this ?

Thanks,

Francois

You might try using the

You might try using the Norton removal tool. There may be remnants of your old AV causing issues with your SEP install.
