I thought I'd do the smart thing and buy Norton Internet Security 2012 for my laptop as my Norton 360 protection had expired. This is a cautionary tale for you all, as I installed this programme it removed 360 off my computer and advised me that a restart was needed. I restarted it and that's where my problems began. My computer had stopped recognising DVDs and CDs (my DVD drive wasn't being recognised), so I couldn't finish installing my Internet Security 2012, obviously I was worried! So as the computer savvy person I like to believe myself to be, I risked logging onto the Internet (unprotected must I add) and decided to ask my best friend Google whether they knew anyone who had, had the same problem and would you believe I came across this site;
Internet security 2012 cd will not load up, from here I was advised that apparently when Norton 360 is is installed or uninstalled it can disable your CD drives. Hmm I smells something fishy here, for a product that is supposed to protect your PCs I find that quite disturbing. I was then advised to go to
Microsoft and prompted to download Microsoft Fix it, which sorted it all out and now everything is running fine! Phew!
I'm telling you that sh*t needs to come with a warning on its box or something, because if I didn't have the smarts to Google it, I would have been stuck here bawling out my eyes thinking my DVD drive no longer worked, meaning I wouldn't be able to play my beloved Sims. Now that would be a sad sad shame, a real sad shame.
