Setup.exe not working
« on: January 22, 2010, 06:59:27 AM »
Hi everyone. I have purchased a new Nortons  2010 disc for my laptop but when I go to install it on my Toshiba I get an error message which reads "Setup,exec has stopped working" and it wont install. It is a three PC version Nortons and installed fine on my HP laptop running Windows XP. Can anyone help please?

Try installing in safe mode and see what happens.

    Which OS? Try running it as an administrator and see what happens. Safe mode would be a better guess though. Let us know how it goes :)

    Just an opinion but i would walk away from Norton altogether and install Avast Free or AVG Free...
    You and your machine will both be happier.

    As you say, matter of opinion :). Personally, I disagree - sorry.

      Norton 2008 sucks. Norton 2010 owns all the others, period :P
