Yes but it's not Norton's. I use AVG. But I used to have Norton's Systemworks installed, but I uninstalled it. That was like a year and a half ago.

Anyway, I did a little research on Norton's and downloaded an uninstall program, which I ran. Rebooted, same error message. Then I went through the registry and did a search and deleted all the entries that had Symantec in it. Then when I tried to run SH I got a different error:
C:\Silent\SH.EXE
System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDriv ers. VDD. Virtual Device Driver format in the registry is invalid.

Maybe I should run a chkdsk from my XP cd to replace anything I should not have deleted. But unless my system becomes unstable, which right now the only problem I'm having is with SH1, I'm not gonna go that route.
