HDD - dunno, it's 180gb or thereabouts, less than half full too.

tbh I don't think she really wants to spend any money on new hardware, or software for that matter - it's almost 100 quid for XP or W7.

I dunno if this is some sort of memory outtage due to vista hogging everything (vista was always greedy like that, which was why I stuck to XP), leaving the AV to crash and burn?

If you reformat it and split it into two parts and then making Vista again, so you can make arrangements at all, but at the same time, all the drivers back in, so a restore is perhaps the best right now...

What ever you do. When you get it sorted out . Make your Aunt a Recovery Disk.

Toss that Norton disk in the trash. Or... give it to someone you don't like.
