I am a first time poster, can normally find answers in
knowledge base but this is just weird! Upgrading from
98SE to XP Home, first formatted C,(disconnected D)
installed 98, installed XP. I got the remote procedure
shut down. I reformatted again, this time not connected
to net, installed 98 ran Norton 2001 nothing found on C
or D, installed XP with no net connection. Installed
Norton AV 2004 got all win updates. Win updates show as
installed yet do not seem to be in reg. It is hard to
tell as regedit shuts down before I can get a good look.
Can't use AV2004 as it shuts down before scan complete. I
did find and delete the down.com file associated with
Raleka, even though I was not connected to the net!
What is going on, any ideas.
 
First, you don't need to install 98SE before you install
XP. When you start installing XP it will ask you along
the way to put in 98 disk to confirm this is a upgrade.
After the install of XP,put in norton and firewall before
you even think of internet hookup. If you are still
getting virus, then one of your floppys or disk must be
infected.Do a virus scan on any disk you put in your
computer before you use them...Good luck.
