Issues with XP Pro Upgrade

I just got done upgrading from Win ME to XP Pro. The only hardware compatability issue was with the drivers for the video card (ATI Radeon 128mb). I installed the appropriate drives and problem solved. Now there is an issue with Norton Anti-virus 2002, it hangs whenever it is launched. I also played a couple of games for testing purposes (Max Payne and Red Alert 2). The games lauched without a problem and saved games loaded fine. Although when I completed the current stage on each game, rather than continuing to the next stage the game was shut down and I was returned to the desktop. Very strange. Has anything remotely similar happened to any of you?

For teh norton issue- check the symantec knowledge base- several things that may be causing this are outlined there.

Generally its best to backup you data and do a format+clean install, have never had very good luck with OS upgrades

I tell people that when they "upgrade the OS, they upgrade there problems"

I'd try a clean install.

Thanks for the replies. Fortunately I was able to get patches for the games and updates for the Norton issue...all is well :D :D
