Big problem! I installed and ran Norton Antivirus 2006 on my home computer. Now I get the welcome screen with all the users but then I get a message when I try to log on as any user: "Explorer exe. unable to locate component. This application failed to start because WININET.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Someone said it's the Windows Initiation file. I can get to task manager, but can't bring the computer up in safe mode. Any ideas?

I ran system recovery before I got your message, Lurker. It ended up working out OK; I had more junk than I had important stuff- But my new question is: Should I re-install Norton Antivirus 2006? I'm a little afraid to- but it's probably the best time to do it, I guess. What do you guys think? (King and Lurker and anyone else out there) Im running Windows XP on a Sony Vaio. Do you need more info? Thanks for all your help!!!
