Crashing error: Symevent.sys page fault...

[baltman]

Please help me this so annoying. WinXP generally runs stable on my system w/3 hdds, 2 cd drives, 512 ram, athlon 1ghz.

However in order for it to run stable I must get it past boot up. Once I do, I'm fine and I can even restart without problems. BUT: When I boot up for the first time in the morning while the system is "cold" i have this error shortly after windows loads:

ERROR IN SYMEVENT.SYS
PAGE FAULT IN NON PAGED AREA

It takes me two or three reboots before I can get going.

Please, any suggestions?!

I have had the same or similar error with certain Norton Products and XP or 2000. Usually updating the sevint file from Norton's site fixes it. You have to manually uninsall the old version which resides in several places. You also have a delete some registry keys that will be rebuilt when you install the file.

I found the instructions on the Symantec site and I didn't save a link to it. I suppose there could be other reasons for it occur but in my experience it has been caused by a Norton product for one reason or another.
