well i can, being Norton its full of Bloat,,my mother has Norton, ( latest version of it on her pc ) it does the same thing, wont let you open anything , so try disabling it plus it reboots itself after it tries to get into the desktop

iv NEVER had ANY problem with norton and iv ALWAYS had it..always the latest and i use the FULL system pack ...with go back and ghost etc!
not once have i had problems or viruses for that matter! its the only antii virus id use.
its never given me problems before and i dont see why it would prove problems now when WLM is trusted software {as its from M$}

RE: WLM causing system reboot?
If you could, please provide me with EXACT reproduction steps to encouter this problem. If you do not have access to the private newsgroups then it is most likely you are a 2nd/3rd/4th generation tester. The only people who have access to the Connect bug form and the newsgroups are the 1st generation testers (EG, those invited by Microsoft).

I also need to know are you getting a BSOD? Also make sure you are using the LATEST build of WLM.

it has been running fine for 2 weeks or so and i have changed NOTHING no settings nothing:S and then my pc just restarted and as soon as i signed back into WLM it did it again and then again etc etc...i cant run WLM for more than 5 minutes without it rebooting my whole pc!

Indeed that is the latest. BSOD=Blue screen of death. Basically when a fatal error or something occurs, your screen will turn all blue with text on it saying what happened.

Do this:

Tools -> Options -> Connection -> Advanced Settings

Enable the logging, then when it happens send the file to me and I can get some folks at MS to look at it.

no. i didnt have ther BSOD .. it just re-booted

could it have been a corrupt file placed in the share folder by another contact that caused this as it was fine up until i had  that set up between me and a contact ... didn't realise till he pointed it out!
