Reinstall norton or if you did uninstall Norton on purpose then click start--run--type regedit--ok. Then doubleclick
on each of these:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\current control set\services\vxd

After you doubleclick the VXD key you'll see a SYMEVNT key on the list underneath.
Delete the SYMEVNT key then close regedit. That should remove the error.
