programs stop working in Windows Vista

Several programs I have stop working after a few minutes I get the following
message "Program_name has stopped working. Windows can check online for a
solution to the problem". Two programs I have I get that message as soon as
I start the program. I found an available update that addresses this problem,
but when I try to install the update, I get a message that this update does
not apply to my computer.
Suggestions? thanks
Ed

What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is installed? There
are some that cause problems which do not appear immediately.

Norton is likely causing your problem.

Replace Norton with the free AVG http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html, and Windows Firewall and Windows
Defender. Disabling Norton is not enough. You need to completely uninstall
it. If it doesn't solve the problem, get rid of Norton anyway. Norton is
known to cause many problems in Vista and they don’t always appear
immediately.
Download and run the Norton Removal Tool.
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...05033108162039

It's called "360" because Symantec's goal is complete ownership of your
computer, and with even less communication about what it's trying to do or
ways to configure it than ever before (which would only interfere with its
goal.) That, along with Symantec's famous technical support, makes Norton
360 a disaster that I would only install on Granny's computer if she was
going to disinherit me.

i understand that, but I have had norton for years and all these programs
have worked. I did not have any problems until I bought a laptop with vista
on it.

do you think that norton is the issue? Even if the problems did appear until
vista? If so I will give it a try and remove Norton/. Just don't want to
remove something I paid for id I don't have to?

As I said earlier, I did find an update on Microsoft update windows beta 2.
but it said that update didn't apply to my system.

Thanks

Okay, I went ahead and uninstalled norton, and have the same results.
"program has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution". Any
other suggestions?

Yes, Norton is likely causing your problem. If uninstalling it does not
solve your problem you can always reinstall it, however it's just a matter
of time before Norton causes a problem.

Assuming you restarted your computer after uninstalling Norton.
Search your registry for "Symantec". If you find anything delete it. Backup
your registry first.

What do you learn when viewing "Problem Reports and Solutions"?

What programs are you having a problem with?

Thanks
