Hi,
Programs that did not migrate properly need to be reinstalled under the user
profile from the original media. Older programs that are not Vista-compliant
are not 'aware' of the new user environment structure and do not install for
any user other than the currently logged on one, so need to be reinstalled
under each.
Do not install any version of any antivirus software that is not 100%
certified for use in Vista. Running them in compatibility mode is
ineffective in protecting your system. Remove what you have of the Symantec
software and get thier latest version if that is your preferred program for
protection (personally, I do not and would not use Norton's, there are
better and cheaper products available).
